Could someone elaborate on the following quote in simple language for me as I seem to be making all the classic mistakes. I appreciated advice on netiquette as am new to newsgroups. Am ex-hotmail, now uko2 and am not currently beseiged.

"Not if you use a doctored account for usenet like I do. Unfortunately I
cottoned on to this trick only after my adress had been harvested, but
hopefully my doctored account keeps the spammers at bay.
