And that is part of the problem.  I have always argued that gatewaying
the mailing list to newgroups is wrong.  If this was only a mailing
list there are many things we could do to reduce abuse but because of
the gateway they can't be done.

Not that it matters to me any more.  I have finally decided that this
list is just more noise to signal than I care to deal with.  If anyone
has any comments for me you will have to Cc me as I am outa here.
