This group is really gone down the shitter.                     You're right about the spamming dear, but it is all over the net.       Spammers seem to be rather stupid in not realizing they are       self-defeating.              The greater the spam, the greater the resentment towards it grows by       the average reader, in turn lowering the chances of anyone bothering       to read the spam.              Spamming only works in the short run. UNLESS, the real objective is       to turn people away from certain newsgroups. Then it works doesn't it?              Wouldn't it be interesting to somehow obtain the identities of those       who spamm certain newsgroups? Would you find business objectives working       or political ones? Or something else altogether?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
