I figured it was probably pretty simple like that, but did a 'locate
plugin' and didn't turn up anything.  Guess I should have tried 'locate
Plugin' (capitol P).  But that's OK.  Today I'm a tiny bit more educated
than yesterday, and spam is down just a tad bit more so overall it's a
net gain.  I did run lint and it barfed so I added the name to the end
of the path and it loads just dapper now.  Not sure what exactly it does
that catches image spam, but I'm sure it's doing something.  

I'll see how it goes for a couple weeks and if needs be toss in the the
FuzzyOCR module as well.  Hopefully I'll have similar results to yours
and not need the extra overhead.

Have a great weekend all...
