     GOD DAMN SPAMMING ASSHOLE SHITHEADS!

     I think it's time we get a new newsgroup, explicity called alt.scifi4m

     or something. There is no we can explain to all of the people spamming

     this group that we're not a discussion group for kinkoids.

     In fact, let's start work on an new usenet, one that rejects spam,
     requires

     real names and addresses, etc.

         AOL can (and does) block out email spam barrages, and a good thing
         to!

         Those cyberpromo doughheads are on their knees and counting on a
         lawsuit

         to pull them out of debtland.

         AOL can't -- and maybe shouldn't -- cancel spam in usenet
         newsgroups. It

         is offering usenet as a service and shouldn't meddle in it. Usenet
         itself

         (or, to be sfish about it, itweareself, since it isn't really run by

         anybody) has to learn how to deal with spam on its own.

         F'n A!

         And pictures: in ten years, this text crap will probably be
         grandma's

         bloomers. I don't know why it's so difficult for AOL to deal with
         spam:

         the system should at least be able to detect bulk messages of
         identical

         lengths and sources.
