More annoying than the occasionaly spam is the fact that we can't just 
let it come and go instead of chiming in with funny/intolerant/impatient 
replies.

The signal-noise ration on this group is incredibly high considering its 
volume. Your own message that didn't make it may have been canned in 
some mass dumping activity on marginally-scoring posts. Don't take it 
personally.

You have *NO* idea how much spam gets canned every day. There is a 
specific problem at this time, but we shoud all be grateful to the 
unsung heroes who work daily to keep c.l.py so free of the annoying spam 
that many other groups suffer from.
