Dave K: Why Spams?

[John Kuszewski]

Dave Kristofferson:

Why do so many spams appear *only* on the bionet 
groups?  Don't you use cancelbots like everybody 
else?  Given that there's specific funding for 
these groups, and that they're supposed to be
professional, and that they're echoed to many
people's personal mailboxes, WHY DON'T YOU 
DEAL WITH SPAMS IN THE WAY THAT SEEMS TO BE
EFFECTIVE FOR EVERY OTHER NEWSGROUP? Hell,
even unmoderated newsgroups show orders of
magnitude fewer spams than bionet groups.

If there's something weird about how the bionet
groups are set up, then change it.  There are
USENET emailing services for people who are 
still stuck in the 80s.  Why not make the 
bionet groups into normal, dependable newsgroups
like thousands of others?

Disgustedly yours,

JK
