An obscure data point.

I recently created an anonymous contact system running on my machine.
It supports postings to only 7 newsgroups, all within the alt.*
hierarchy, and none of which have any computer-related technical
content whatever.  Eight anonymus+###@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu
addresses were recipients of the mail.

It would appear that abacus@gwinnett.com simply trolled the Usenet
blindly for addresses to which to send.

There were better moves available.

My own mail was short and to the point: "Turn it off, and you've made
many enemies."  (Local Zephyrstorm at the time came up with a dozen or
two people here who had received this crud.  _No_one_ wanted it.)
