All we need is for some network news program to play a story about how spam

"Usenet"? What's that? Is it something like the Internet? You say it's
got "news groups"? You mean like CNN and MSNBC or something? Oh, yeah,
written messages, like texting! i gt u k now k tks

There's a very low probability that 60 Minutes is planning an expose'
of GoogleGroupers spamming the sci.electronics.* tree, but stranger
things have happened, I guess...
