Default civilised spam?

The "I want to share this with you" post appeared on every one of my
newsgroups *without* crossposting.

Astonishing.

It was still spam though and got larted as such on most groups where it
was off topic and unwelcome, no spam is civilised although Spam fritters
might be though so by some.

Maybe you should try a civilised newsreader; it didn't appear on any
of my newsgroups :-)

Nor mine, though it's either the newsfeed or the home server which zap
