redesign usenet? IIRC, usenet has no central "server", but accepts the
flow of posts from any server linked into a feed. If one of those
"trusted" feeds is pushing bogus posts, there's not much one can do.

Looking at the Path: header for a few bogus posts, `psinet-eu-nl` seems
to be the bad route that's causing this mess. Or someone faking
themselves as `psinet-eu-nl`...

I know email better than usenet, so I'm just groping blindly with this.

I got my first xmas where I brought a baby, and presents were for my
daughter instead of for me

(I still got a pair of polo shirts, a pair of dockers pants and an alarm
system for one of my cars)

Actually I didn't write that or a couple other forged posts. I dunno who
is forging my name, but the header of the forged posts don't look at
all like the header of this, and my other most famous and wonderful posts.

Well, somebody 'here' has a virus and I hope he gets a clue real soon and
stays off the net until he fixes it. SO, Y'ALL - if you don't have a good
anti-virus running you are SUSPECT.

In my experience, the victim usually uses a computer shared with young
children, and virus protection is absent or out-of-date.

Just stopping by from news.admin.net-abuse.email where all these forged posts
are usually set to follow-up to.

The person behind this goes by the name hipcrime or dippy as some call him.
Its whole goal is to make nanae unreadable. When the moron failed to directly
flood the group it switched to abusing other groups.

For those of you with the bandwidth you might benefit from setting up your
own news spool with Hamster. http://www.tglsoft.de/ yes, it's in German.

Yeah, the manual said something like for a 20,000 BTU heater you need
3 sq ft of ventilation area. This is about 1/4 that size so I could
probably get away with just cracking the side door a couple of inches.
It scared me when I first plugged it in. There's an on/off switch on
it that was switched to "on" when I pulled it out of the box. I
didn't notice the switch... I put in a couple of gallons of kerosene
and then plugged it up... Turned my back on the heater to consult the
manual to see what it said I should do and you know how it takes about
5 seconds to preheat before lighting up... well, that works great.
FOOOM!!! Right behind me. heh heh I'm gonna go fire it up right now
for Connor so he can ride his skateboard in the garage. :-)
