from Sam Ewalt: > I gave up on the newsgroups several years ago. There seems to be a relevant mailing list for most subjects.
> Besides, posting to newsgroups is a sure fire way to increase your spam load. How would that explain all the Korean spams I've been receiving? I received 18 in 47 hours followed by 13 in 24 hours: so many I can remember charset="ks_c_5601-1987", though there are some with euc-kr. How do they expect to sell me anything if I can't read the messages? I see a lot of upper-ASCII box characters, but even if rendered correctly, the messages would be just as unintelligible, since I can't read Korean.
