    Any explanation as to why 218.191.74.42 decided to post a few hundred
    sporge messages in this NG this morning?

    Anyone seen these things posted in any other group?

    The source seems to have been a single computer (located at the IP
    address I posted). The posts were not composed or written by a human
    being but instead were posted programatically by a script or a
    trojan-infected computer.

    I was wondering why the sudden flood of the shit?

    Hipcrime?

    Anyone follow net.events or any such info source?

  5. Who knows? Addresses (e-mail and maybe NGs) take on a life of their own.
    Every now and then I receive automated rejection msgs from companies
    advising me that I have sent them e-mail with a virus payload...and I have
    never heard of these companies...

    It looks like there is a cyber version of me sending out viruses... and
    versions of my address supposedly send out spam, of which I have received
    copies once or twice...
