Quite possibly the first time I've ever seen those words printed on the

People that really dislike posts from those clients have put in simple
killfile rules that automatically filter them out.  I have killfiled
google groups posts and don't find I miss them.  Funnily enough, I
tested it on alt.astronomy, and immediately lost about 90% of the
conversation on that NG (and was better off for it - no better NG on
earth serves as witness to the worst of Usenet behavior).
