As to the spam increase,I see it and it is not good,but it isnt as bad as i thought it would be,maybe my isp has some filtering in place i dont officialy know any thing but that they have a antispam filter on outgoing stuff. If any one has been seeing an overwhelming increase in spam lately the i would recomend going here: http://www.sputum.com/cns/moratorium.html and clicking on this link: http://www.sputum.com/cns/complaint.html and use it as a template to complain to your isp about thier need to add spam filtering to thier usenet service. I hope that this moratorium will bring good results. Anyhow,im not tring to get off topic but i think this is ontopic in just about any ng if ya want to enjoy a good discussion with out having to dodge crap loads of spam. ...::::::::'''' [<.:::::::::::::: >o< ___||___```:::::::... /________\ >o< | | >o< | RAID | | | | KILLS | | SPAMERS| , | DEAD | , | ...::|| ,, |________| >x< >x< -- THE <\PRINCE /> /\ \\ // /\ / \ \\ // / \ / /\/ /""""""\ \/\ \ / / SEE HIS ( / \ \ SEE HIS \ \ \ \ FACE \/<> <>\/ SMILE / / \ \ / W \ / / \ \ /\_|||||_/\ / / / \ // ||| \\ / \ / /\ \ // ' \\ / /\ \ / / / / \ \ \ \ \ \/ \_______________________/ \/ / \_________________________________/ krogg.no.to.spam@inspace.net Remove no.to.spam to reply http://www.inspace.net/~carcher/krogg/aani.htm Gory javascript animations for your enjoyment
