I know it is off topic - but can anyone tell me what sort of person posts
all the rubbish that appeared on 10 Feb and what is the purpose of it?



Some NewsServers such as News.Individual filtered them all
out. And so the first many people may have know about it, if at
all, may have been if they consulted the current U.R.G. page on
Google Groups that day, when the first three or four pages were
filled with total gibberish. The messages are probably generated
automatically, and posted just so as to demonstrate how easily it
can be done. And so as to attract attention, and comment. Other
groups may also be being targeted on a rota basis. Or as being
among the least likely groups to contain too many script kiddies.
