Michael - You seem overly invested in protecting this Usenet group for 
the people who were using it prior to February 2014.  Here's who those 
people are, and what they were posting:

xxxxxx videolaR 80 FAZLA super, by garch20@gmail.com (8/10/2013), no 
responses
what is internet?, by jawad.cs43@gmail.com, (9/21/2013), 1 bot response
Re: Hello from the year 2013!!, patricklange1983@gmail.com (10/19), no 
response
{arabic} emarketing, Nabil Alnihari (12/26/2013), no responses
Re: I/S Chargeback Software, by drivan32@gmail.com, no responses.

We have yet to hear a single word from Mssrs drivan, vinodk81, Nabil, 
lange, jawad, or garch20, and every one of those posts smells of 
robo-posting by a spambot.  I applaud you for your defense of these 
software posters.  Carpetbagger is a strong word, incommensurate in my 
opinion with the actions of folks who seem love and appreciate Usenet as 
much as you do.

If the original "users" of this newsgroup speak up and tell the rest of 
us to piss off, I suspect we'd do so.  Rather, there was nothing but 
crickets and tumbleweeds around here, and we've made it into something 
interesting that you are welcome to participate in.  If you intend 
rather to post all this negative "Usenet was better before all you 'new 
guys' showed up" stuff, I for one will be killfiling you.  There's a 
better than average chance the folks posting to comp.misc today are as 
old as you or older, and have every right to consider themselves 
"original users" of comp.misc.

If you feel otherwise, I'd invite you to go contact Mssrs drivan, 
vinodk81, Nabil, lange, jawad, or garch20 on our behalf and see what 
they think.  They may have some e-marketing advice for you, too.
