The following 12 articles have been cancelled from 12
aus.* groups.  This is a Breidbart Index of 12.0.

[Some posted with extra sets of headers....]

The $alz cancel. and !cyberspam! conventions were used.

[The following explanatory material shamelessly stolen from clewis]
-------------------------------------
Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP) means the same as the term "spam" usually
does, but is more accurate and self-explanatory.

The Breidbart Index (BI) is defined as the sum of the square roots of
how many newsgroups each article was posted to.  This is a measure of
Excessive Crossposting (ECP) also known as "Velveeta".

If you have questions about how not to spam, or where "it is written that
I shouldn't spam" or similar things, we suggest you consult the newsgroup
news.announce.newusers, or the rtfm.mit.edu FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions
archives), and read the following FAQs:

    - "What is Usenet", by Salzenburg, Spafford and Moraes.  (FAQ archive:
      usenet/what-is/part1)

    - "What is Usenet?  A second opinion.", by Vielmetti.  (FAQ archive
      name: usenet/what-is/part2)

    - "DRAFT FAQ: Advertising on Usenet: How To Do It, How Not To Do It"
      by Furr.  (FAQ archive name: usenet/advertising/part1)

    - "A Primer on How to Work With the Usenet Community", by Von Rospach,
      Spafford, et. al.  (FAQ archive name: usenet/primer/part1)

    - "Rules for posting to Usenet", by Horton, Spafford & Moraes.
      (FAQ archive name: usenet/posting-rules/part1)

    - "Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette", by Templeton
      et. al.  (FAQ archive name: usenet/emily-postnews/part1)

These cancels have nothing whatsoever to do with the contents of the
message.  It doesn't matter if its an advertisement, it doesn't matter
if it's abusive, it doesn't matter whether it's on-topic in the groups
it was posted, it doesn't matter whether the posting is for a "good
cause" or not, if it breaks these thresholds and I detect it, it will be
cancelled.

Therefore, these cancellations are non-content based.  They're not
based on _what_ was said, they're based only on _how_ it was said, or
what software was broken.
------------------------------------
[end clewis excerpt]

I will issue cancels for articles that either:
 - Have a BI of 10 or greater in the aus.*/nz.* groups only
 - Have been cancelled by others from the "big 7" newsgroups but still
   exist in aus.*/nz.*. (This is alas common due to long propagation times
   in and out of Oz.)
 - Are a continuation of the MMF SPAM in any of its guises.
 - Are a continuation of any previously cancelled ECP/EMP

 - melb.* and syd.* newsgroups (all 4 of them) count as aus.*.
 - this service has been expanded to cover nz.*
