   This is completely consistent with it being on autopilot. Someone   
   built the spam filter for their own groups, nobody got around to   
   making it work with usenet. I can easily imagine them saying there's   
   so much garbage in usenet from other places, what difference would   
   it make?   
      
   As the old saw reminds us, don't assume malice until you've ruled out   
   incompetence.
