Spam? What spam? There's a lot of hot air but I have yet to encounter spam. Marko

Fortunately, they do a pretty good job of catching most of it; I occasionally see junk mail on the list, but most of it gets caught and discarded. ChrisA

Who's filtering comp.lang.python? Possibly your provider, possibly your client, hard to say. But I'm pretty confident you do NOT see all the spam that goes through, because it's definitely there.

Besides, there's been a slight resurgence in comp.misc at least, apparently some people got angry about something at slashdot and wanted a more free forum, hence a bunch of posts there and some other groups recently. Other than that, I think most of the angry people and spammers have left Usenet alone. All the better for those of us who stick with it but I have to say the average age of people posting to comp.arch at least is probably over 60... The only younger people around seem to be the kids asking for people to do their homework.

Aye I found a couple of groups that are still active. Most of it seems to be a digital ghost town though. A bit sad, I was once actively involved in setting up the se. * hierarchy. /martin s On 22 Jul 2014, Anssi Saari <as@sci.fi> wrote: >Marko Rauhamaa <marko@pacujo.net> writes: > >> Martin S <shieldfire@gmail.com>: >> >>> Is there a point to still use Usenet?
