The message
from "K" contains these words:

: Jim, sorry to butt in, but I haven't seen the ABC for ages now,
possibly
: since I changed isp. It could be that others are not seeing it
either.
Is
: it a possibility that some isps don't post it or something, or is
there
: another reason?
I'm with blueyonder. I wonder if other BY subscribers are getting it.

The ABC turned up today as usual, K. My isp weeds out spammed adverts,
but evidently doesn't identify endless repetitions of the ABC as such.
Possibly yours does? Or your newsreader settings do?

The spam which, according to you, your ISP is weeding, is from your email.
Usenet is an entirely different internet activity.
How did you manage to persuade your ISP to remove spam? A few days ago we
had a discussion in which some folk maintained that such an arrangement was
illegal, since both sender and receiver were supposed to agree that the ISP
may do a bit of cleaning up.
