Lately a few spammers have been thousands of newsgroups. This isn't the
only one getting them.

Did you happen to notice that the vast majority of these spammers (here in
C.L.P) use Google Groups?

User-Agent: G2/1.0 - the current bane of Usenet - has also extended eternal
September for, well, another eternity.

BTW, did you know that Google Groups posts your complete, non-munged email
address to Usenet? I suspect the writers of email harvesting bots love that.
