What's with all these spam postings??
What's with all these nonsense spams that are getting posted in the
middle of the night? They're not even commercial! I checked a few out and they don't have any links or sales pitch or anything...just a string of nonsense sentences. Any clues why they're being sent or how to stop them? Mark |

Any good news server filters them out. For example, I use Supernews and never get them. |
