No. Its just some massive asshole spammer flooding it with his crap.

Complain to his providers. Now!

That is to abuse@ and postmaster@ of all the providers whose names
appear in the website URL, his From: lines and the NNTP-Posting-Host:
and X-Complaints-To: lines.

The more spam reports they get the more they will see that this spammer
is a real massive problem.

Then they will come down on him like a ton of bricks, simply to regain
the expenses of handling all the reports.

From lines are all different, might as well ignore them.

Complained to abu...@powertech.no, they said they'll terminate his account and
post to usenet to confirm this. Seems to have affected other newsgroups too.
