> Yes it is. But what annoys me, is the junk electronic mail that gets
sent out, in the character sets from those countries, and Asia as well.
Fortunately this list has not been so hit, but it is happening to other
lists as well.

Most spam only generates minor irritation here, though the IBM mainframe list seems to 
get its
share from the Usenet exposure.  So far no spammers seem to have found the Marist 
archives of
this list - would it be an idea to ask the great and the good (the list owners) to 
suppress or
munge the email addresses in the archive?

Way beyond irritation - some of the hard-core porn spam is now pretty explicit.  One 
this
morning had six or seven mini-JPGs, the possession of any of which in the UK would get 
me
arrested.
