Usenet Newsgroups Re: Who on this site is responsible for weeding out spam?

This group is kinda like the ugliest house on the block, the one with the lawn never mowed, and covered up with weeds 6 feet tall.  What makes you think that people are going to want to visit? Do you not understand the concept of unmoderated newsgroups?  I read it through eternal-september.org; the volume is low, but I don't think I've encountered any spam. -- As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.
