Heh heh. I always check for your posts, Jan. I forgot to check for Koi's,
though. I can't tell from the headers which of hers are really hers; I just
guess by Subject. Also, I've forgotten the names of the other regulars and
old timers.

Hiya Nick, I don't know who's all out there any more either. I'm this
message will get them to resend, if they had sent something. I sent 2 other
message right in the middle of last night's hit, so I resent this morning
only we got hit again. Figure I might resend those again later, for those
who just did a delete in mass. ~ jan

You're a trooper, Jan. It might take a while, but if they don't get any
traction, they'll eventually look for more fertile ground to dump their
fertilizer on.

That was back in the day I could see pictures, I remember it. Now my ISP
(I assume) must stop the pics, as I haven't been able to view a mis-sent
pic in 2-3 years. ~ jan

A lot of news servers automatically strip out image attachments, or expire
them very quickly. In particular the alt.binaries newsgroups can account for
a significant portion of the news server traffic. In the past this was
tolerated because an ISP managed news server with a long retention policy
was a selling point.

These days the value of Usenet is significantly depreciated, webforums and
mailing lists have largely replaced Usenet. When I worked for a certain
isp, we discovered that less then 1% of the subscribers accessed the
newsserver on a regular basis, and those that did basically only cared about
pornography and piracy, so we significantly reduced our labor and hardware
investment into that service, and focused on the content and services more
people used.

See, I had a feeling that there was more to come.........and no I have
nothing to do with the floods! Take that issue up with Carol and her
army of followers that like to use remailers and remain secluded in
the background or chime in to her defense.

The original frugal ponder ! Koi-ahoi mates....

These days the value of Usenet is significantly depreciated, webforums and
mailing lists have largely replaced Usenet.

I guess this is a dying format? Even though it took me less than 5 minutes
to get rid of the 7900+ messages this morning. I hate to see newsgroups go,
even though I love the pictures at Koiphen, it takes far longer to read
thru it. With Agent I can delete as I read, so I'm not re-reading.

I don't know who it was, but last year someone said we ought to put POND in
front of all our sends. I couldn't see the reasoning at the time, but I
guess they were aware that those who we were handling with our killfilters,
would find another way. It never occurred to naive little me that there are
such vindictive people out there, that love negative attention/vibes. ~ jan

I'm confused. I thought he was a legit RP newcomer (though the "chuckie"
nym made me suspicious). You think he is behind the downloaded in-mass
garbage? ~ jan

It really has no value. Don't you that think anyone who can flood the
newsgroup can do it with POND in the subject line? He managed to add a
bogus "Koi-lo" header (in fact, I'm surprised my newsserver even accepted
it, but it was the easy way to prevent them coming in future).

Absolutely. I think I mentioned that in one of my posts, for now this will
work, IMHO, till "they" discover how we're working around them. Then we'll
switch to another code word, like KOI maybe. ;o)
