Is anyone else seeing these weird messages that appear to be posted by ng
regulars? They will often be posted after a normal post. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com |

Normally the poster will hijack an open server and munge his headers so that he cannot be traced. Best to ignore it I think. (They usually come in the hundreds, so we're lucky so far.) |

They will often be posted after a normal post. Was there more than two? Looks like someone is testing a bot. Years ago in another group I read, my initiation into Usenet involved HipCrime. Posts by the hundreds of thousands. Hard to filter out, too. lol God I love Usenet. -- Cheryl |
