Mike, I found one of them this morning and removed it -- thanks for tipping me off about #2.  It's gone.

Well, well, there he (was) again this morning, so I've tried a new tack -- a ban on his various addresses.  Let's see if it works this time.  If you're wondering what the heck I mean -- there's been a spambot showing up around here recently.  It appears to be the same one each time - so that's why I'm trying an address ban.

Would that be the "racing post trophy" one - that I just now nuked?

It seems to me that a skid plate located farther rearward than the centers of the rear wheels would not unload the front end.  This suggests that ability to steer would not be diminished.  I agree with y'all that the "power off default" condition should be to apply that brake.
