Well on news.east.earthlink.net server for comp.sys.mac.scitech there
are currently 95 messages, the most recent one on 2:29 am (I don't know
whose time) today. That is a spam. the next one was posted on 10/24.
That is a spam too. On 10/22 there was a legit message. The next 16
messages are again spam. There is a single legit again with no response.
Any way, the first posting shows to be from Feb 13th and is a spam again
of course. There are no more 3 or 4 messages that are on topic there. If
I knew how to copy list of subjects from Thunderbird I would have pasted
it here to exonerate myself:-) But I don't. I don't know why our servers
show differently. But your point is taken. Scitech messages belong to
scitech group. I'll remember that for the next time.
