Hello! There!

I read all these at fj.personal-ads.penpal.

All these messages were cross-posted to fj.personal-ads.penpal,too
which meant all these were sent all over Japan.

Maybe,one reason these things happen so often,is that newsgroups in U.S 
don't start with 'us'or something like that.
So, newsgroups for each countries and U.S local newsgroups look similar.

(Eating up valuable spaces, bandwidths,etc,etc...)
They are not only really annoying, but they made fj.personal-ads.penpal
very hard to use...

EVERYBODY PLEASE CHECK THE NEWSGROUP YOU'RE POSTING(& cross-posting) TO!
DON'T POST TO NEWSGROUPS YOU DON'T KNOW WELL!
