Whoever is doing this has SAA by the balls. These seem to be multiple spam
posts organized through many computers by one or a few people. The remailer
MADMAN somehow has done it....where's Batman when we need him??

Somewhere in your Usenet client. People have noted several ways to
defeat this; I'm filtering posts with more than 20 lines of text, and
I'm seeing none of the junk. I doubt that I am missing much legitimate
material.

Actually you will. I sent two replies to this message one with the
original message quoted below and this one without the original message
quoted. One is 22 lines and will get filtered out and this one will
pass. Let me know which one you see.

I presume you mean I will miss legitimate posts that are long because
they quote the original. You are correct. OK, folks, stop quoting more
than a line or two of the original. Or, it's back to the drawing board.
I'm not out of ideas yet...

Actually it is merely an inconvenience--easy enough to deal with.
Just get on with the normal postings.
