I see the problem here. We're talking two different things. I'm
think of usenet only whereas you guys are talking everything,
usenet, email, etc....

Yes, that is a difference in what we're talking about.

Still, our comments do apply to Usenet, and the original issue Larry
mentioned is *specific* to Usenet (that is, Google Groups as a portal to
Usenet). Also, there are really two levels of spam-activity he

* the original message which may or may not be spam (technically it may not
be, but since the exact same message has been posted to a wide variety of
other forums, Usenet and otherwise, with only the topic replaced I think
it's arguable that it is)

* the spam email messages that will be sent to anyone who attempts to
register for this bogus forum

It's all part and parcel of the same issue. To fight spam means to counter
any behavior that is related to the sending of spam, including spam-like
advertisements for a forum that may or may not even be legitimate, and
potential email-harvesting activities.
