Eh, it's already useless, and we don't need "sporge flooding" for
that.

In much the same way that a group of monkeys randomly hitting keys on
a typewriter will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare, perhaps
the Sporgers will accidentally produce a positive, uplifting post from
"Bob" here?

The internet has disproved that theory. :)

Thanks for the information, but I say no thanks to NewsProxy, a
program hosted on a Warez web site. You have no way of knowing if
that program contains malicious code or not.
It is plausible that the threat that originated this message thread is
specifically meant to cause readers to run NewsProxy, and unwittingly
become gateways for spam Usenet articles and e-mail.
Given the noise generated by those who can't resist posting harassing
followups to every article posted by certain subscribers to
rec.aviation.piloting, it is obvious that the newsgroup's readership
has become adept at filtering out irrelevant articles. I choose to
do that with any sporge that may show up, without resorting to
software hosted on a web site devoted to pirated software.

I suggest, that anyone who posts a followup article to the original
article in this message thread change the newsgroup to
rec.aviation.piloting and not post anything to sci.crypt. I would
guess the sporgers select which newsgroups to flood based on the
number of replies they receive in sci.crypt. Take a look at the
articles in that newsgroup, and you'll see why.
