No, I'm sorry, this is completely unhelpful.  I was unable to detect
any method for Making Money Fast, porn, mailing to 10 gazillion email
addresses, porn, visiting some adolescent's kewl 31337 web site, porn,
a request to send a card to a kid with a brain tumor, porn, or
anything else that is the usual type of post in a bionet.* group.
It's a Sad Day when people like you feel forced to keep completely on
topic in a group like this and to impose prompt, topical and helpful
advice on us.  Imminent Death Of Usenet predicted.

Ian.
