P.S.

To the OP: I normally block postings from google groups (which
is where almost all Usenet spam comes from), so I only saw your
posting because I was experimenting with my spam filtering.
I'll only see additional postings if you post from a real news
server or if somebody who does so quotes one of your postings.

Yes, that sort of sucks. But, until Google shuts off the spam
spigot, you're going to get short shrift if you post from
Google.

There are plenty of free news servers for the text groups like
c.l.p, or you can post to the mailing list via gmane.org.
