Allow me to filter OUT specific developers
I browse the Market daily, and I grow so tired of having to sift through page after page of some developers' apps. You know the ones: they're all essentially the same "app" (usually some thinly veiled web search or XML feed) but they slap on a new icon and clever title, clearly playing a "numbers game" so that someone will download something (and thereby earn them hits for their advertisements). I want to be able to click on a developer who has demonstrated this practice repeatedly and choose an option to BLOCK that developer's apps from showing up in my browse list. If you do that, I will sing the praises of AppBrain from the highest mountain.

I'm glad you added the spam filtering, but I dont think this goes far enough. I see a lot of apps by "billboard" that are rather useless, and so i want to specifically filter them out, is there a way to do that?
