Check Google. The web site generates its traffic by posting phoney "I found
a good forum" messages to various places. Also, the web site rejects
gmail.com addresses (and possibly other free email sites).

My bet: it's just an email harvesting site. It may even reject all
addresses, and just save them off to a spam database.

I recommend everyone stay away.

More Usenet spam brought to you through the irresponsible policies of

Yup. Used to be, Google was "the company you could trust". Now they are
"not quite as bad as Yahoo!".

I'm unclear on how google could be responsible for this post. What
would stop this kind of post even if google didn't exist?

Granted, it wouldn't *stop* spam. However, all reputable ISPs will suspend
Usenet access, if not cancel the account entirely, for posting spam.
Google, on the other hand, allows free access and does absolutely nothing
with respect to enforcing their own use policies, never mind the usual
accepted practices for Usenet.

At least if I send a complaint to an ISP, I'll get a form letter telling me
that they'll look into it and take action if the user's action was in
violation of their terms of service. Google basically says "tough luck".
In that respect, they encourage spammers to use their service for posting
Usenet spam.

Because Larry said so and if he said so, it's true. Larry is *never* wrong.
Just ask him.
