I'm also using nntp (Usenet) and see very little spam. There was a flurry of about ten *extremely* obnoxious pr0n spams in a row, and the occasional odd one here or there, but generally I see hardly any. It is ironic that some people say that the solution to the spam problem is to move to Google Groups, because most of the spam comes *from* Google Groups. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
