Emmanuel This NG is simply suffering from an attack by political
Emmanuel spammers. They deal in lengthy diatribes full of
Emmanuel conspiracy theory instead of get-rich-quick schemes and
Emmanuel Viagra substitutes; but it is still spam. There are
Emmanuel only a handful of them, but they are still destroying
Emmanuel r.a.m, and it isn't even illegal.

I think it is sad that people don't update their newsreaders to deal
with the problem better: newsreaders that were completely adequate two
years ago are now wholly inadequate to handle spam - unless decent
regular expression support is available, the spam will find its way
through en masse. I don't think most users are aware that they need
better computer skills, or that there *are* newsreaders out there that
provide better support against spam.
