Increase in Spam

If anyone is wondering why there is an increase in Make Money spams
right now it is due to the Anti-Spammers calling a Moratorium on
their Spam cancelling and filtering activities which they have
switched off for an indefinite period in an attempt to persuade all
ISPs and Net Access Providers to install measures at their own
individual Access Sites instead of leaving it to a few Anti-
Spammers.
Net users who are experiencing a big increase in spam in their
newsfeeds are being encouraged to complain to their own ISP and
request that they take measures to reduce all forms of Spam.
If your own Access Provider already has anti-spam measures in place
you can expect to see very little increase in spam but there will
still be some that will get through.

As to the spam increase,I see it and it is not good,but it isnt as bad as i thought it would be,maybe my isp has some filtering in place i dont officialy know any thing but that they have a antispam filter on outgoing stuff. If any one has been seeing an overwhelming increase in spam lately the i would recomend going here: http://www.sputum.com/cns/moratorium.html and clicking on this link: http://www.sputum.com/cns/complaint.html and use it as a template to complain to your isp about thier need to add spam filtering to thier usenet service. I hope that this moratorium will bring good results. Anyhow,im not tring to get off topic but i think this is ontopic in just about any ng if ya want to enjoy a good discussion with out having to dodge crap loads of spam. ...::::::::'''' [<.:::::::::::::: >o< ___||___```:::::::... /________\ >o< | | >o< | RAID | | | | KILLS | | SPAMERS| , | DEAD | , | ...::|| ,, |________| >x< >x< -- THE <\PRINCE /> /\ \\ // /\ / \ \\ // / \ / /\/ /""""""\ \/\ \ / / SEE HIS ( / \ \ SEE HIS \ \ \ \ FACE \/<> <>\/ SMILE / / \ \ / W \ / / \ \ /\_|||||_/\ / / / \ // ||| \\ / \ / /\ \ // ' \\ / /\ \ / / / / </ TIME TO DIE \> \ \ \ \ \ \/ \_______________________/ \/ / \_________________________________/ kro...@inspace.net Remove no.to.spam to reply http://www.inspace.net/~carcher/krogg/aani.htm Gory javascript animations for your enjoyment
