Assuming that you are sincere and not LEA on a mission: Most people are honest, sincere and decent folk . The few who are not make life difficult for the rest . Quoted from another newsgroup ************************************************* >>To explain how this works, one has to understand the way spammers choose where to spam. They do not have a human being reading or monitoring the NG's, but rely on computers to do this. The computers play a numbers game, choosing NG's that show heavy traffic and certain key subject words that the computer believes are compatible with the model of what the spammer is looking for. This is often referred to as a "spam bot". High volume is always desirable to them, ergo the flooding done by regular posters actually attracts the spammers via their computer bots. I mention this only to remind everyone that we can easily create large volumes of spam by carelessness. This NG has been relatively free of high volume spam, and I personally would like to see it stay that way. By keeping flooding by regular posters to a minimum, we can assure that it will!!! And let's remember NOT to x-post. Well, technically, although very annoying, cross-posting does not attract the spam bots. The computers look for key words in the subject lines and group volume to pick an NG for spamming. They can also gather up email addresses of those poor numb twits who would actually use a real email address in Usenet!!! ************************************************* MiKe®
