In the state of California, SPAM /is/ illegal, and your ISP can demand
US$50 for each incident.  Work something out with your ISP where you
forward all SPAM to a special support address, and gain the right to
pester them to put a RAID system on their news server using the new
cash that's flowing in :).

In fact, that might even convince me to remove the munge from my 
Usenet postings!!!
