   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?
