I beg to differ, Kevin. Sure, there's lots of ways spammers can get
addresses. Some spam is inevitable. But for someone who posts often to
Usenet, adding NOSPAM or something similar does cut down on the amount
of crap to wade through. Spamford Wallace, for one, gets a good portion
of his list from Usenet posts. Ask him.

We all know where the delete button is. We just wish there was one that
would delete Spamford and his ilk. For more information on spam and why
it is a problem, check out CAUCE at http://www.cauce.org/.

Now, "Baby On Board" is a different story.

Cheers,

Dusty
