  • How come all the spam stopped February 22nd this year?

    From Tony@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 12 15:13:58 2024
    I can't read Russian or Ukrainian but I don't need magic mushroom or any
    of that shit. By the way this is really Tommy Tutalidge I sustained a
    busted left arm April 12th 2024 that should have made the 6 o'clock news
    all over the world. The good news is it hasn't affected my playing
    abilities.

    Yup, that sure killed the spam - pity they didn't simply make it a
    requirement to prove you were a human to post instead of simply killing
    the access for people who couldn't figure out how to use services like eternal-september...

    I thought Google was supposed to be your friend?

    Some friend!

    The spammers tried spamming through several of the usenet suppliers like
    E-S but were stopped almost immediately.

    And now we have Usenet all to ourselves...need to get university kids interested in the medium if it is ever going to take off again...

    Just remember this is my newsgroup and I always posted all the Tommy Tutalidge sightings worldwide and gave a running count of all the
    flippers and machines I busted. Remember the first rule of this newsgoup
    is I'm the greatest of all world champions yes even Phil "The Power"
    Taylor and Willy Masconi and I'm still the fastest pinball player alive
    with the fastest pool and snooker breaks listed in the Guinness Book of
    World Records.
