SPAM

Hey, is it just me or is this a SPAM-free newgroup? Maybe they're too afraid to have a bunch of SP line-spewing freaks jumping down their ass =)

You probably just broke the good luck by voicing that aloud. Now we're going to be bombarded with spam. :P

DemocrtGrl beat on the keyboard and out came:

You mean the list server posts don't count as spam?

The reason there isn't much spam yet is because the newsgroup is new, so a lot of servers don't carry it yet, especially the big spam-haven servers. That won't last. So enjoy it now.

If you have a decent newsreader[0], you can kill all the mailing list posts here[1] by killing the following header:

Sender: [email]

-E

[0]: I know slrn can do it. I know AOL can't. <shrug>

[1]: DAMN YOU, Comedy Central! Not only do you totally ignore any decent behavior "standards" by piping your loathsome and ill-configured mailing list to this group, but you have the sheer GALL to place, at the bottom of each one, "you gotta email this person, because they don't read this group"? How many different precepts of netiquette can you break at once?

Well, you can't e-mail comcentral.com because all of their mailboxes are full: webmaster@, postmaster@, mail@ abuse@ seemed to get through. heh
