     looking over some of the spam, I think that alt.sf4m being amongst many

     sex newsgroup crosslistings is as much due to the fact that "alt.sf4m"

     come directly after "alt.sex.*" in the alphabet as anything else. I

     suspect the same messages go to non sex groups but we're just bunched

     with the ones that are in our alphabetical range.

         oh, well...there are a couple of reasons...

         1) spammers are idiots

         2) spammers are idiots

         3) spammers are idiots

         4) it's possible that Kibo may read this and respond
