Dear Usenet, We of alt.horror.werewolves apologize for the crosspostings accidentally caused by inappropriate headers being left on messages as they're posted. On the other proverbial paw, we'd appreciate it if everyone would just let this thread die. The recent spam epidemic has driven us to distraction, even losing us some members just because some of you out there (and you know who you are) decided it would be fun to put off-topic articles into our group and spread several dozen of our articles through other groups (one of mine included). Why is this in altnet's group? Simple. You see, a lot of the more persistent spammers were funneling their posts through alt.net, while the management, for some obscure reason, decided that having abusive posts full of profanity being spread all over Usenet by their server was all right with them. Despite numerous complaints, they seem to have decided that that portion of their Articles of Use agreement which specifically prohibits excessive off-topic posting to Usenet (copy of AoU available at the Altopia Homepage) no longer exists. So please, let this thread die. Judging by the level of flamage on it lately, I'd say we're all sick and tired of it, yes? Yours truly, The peace-offering, Wanderer****************'Where am I going?I don't quite know. ****************************'What does it matter where people go? wanderer@why.net'*****Down to the woods where the bluebells grow. wanderer@whytel.com'*Anywhere!Anywhere!Idon't know!
