What a brilliant idea! If only this could be implemented in academia. Our Ph.D. students would stop asking stupid questions on this BB but instead read books and journal articles. Yes, everything except PDB, sciencedirect, webofscience, pubmed and arxiv (this one is for real science geeks) must be blocked!
