   Varies day to day, hour by hour--hell--sometimes
minute by minutes in New England.  It's finally stopped
raining though--we had weeks of that crap.

   One point I wish you'd address is that while IBM.net
claims to be filtering for spam they also filter for
content and that their criteria for such is not
known to its customers.

  Now as an IBM user you are not typical (that's
neigher good or bad) but put yourself in the
place of an average user there.  They make
an innocent post--an enemy or someone having
a bad day, etc. follows up on them---adds 12 groups
into the newsgroup line, trashes and libels them
up and down, and then from that thread spans
many other and this original poster from 
IBM.Net is made out to be a dangerous 
pedophile with a small dick.  Now the sad
and amusing thing is that the guy will never
even see these posts attacking him because
IBM.NET will filter them out--thus he's no right
of reply--he'll--he doesn't even realize his 
reputation has been severely damaged.

  I strongly recommend to users opposed
to systemwide filtering to followup on
random posters from systems that do
so--such as IBM.NET--put a lot of
groups in the crosspost--and trash them
up and down.  Make it a hobby.
