Usenet spam used to be more of a problem a few years ago (though

I didn't know about aioe's censorship, which is troubling. I only tried
them briefly, but their servers were so slow that in the short term I
was never quite sure if my posts were really posted or not (sometimes
they _would_ be posted even when Thunderbird said the server timed out
-- and sometimes not).

With all good wishes,

I can't imagine what kind of target demographic we're a part of. I've
been here since 1997 and this is the worst the spam gets, which isn't
[knock] bad. Some newsgroups are 10:1 advertising.
