    What's with the flood of spam posts in the echo?

    Kind of to be expected with it being a newsgroup.

    Really depends on where the BBS is getting it's news from, I pull from a couple sources,
    individual.net seems to have the cleanest feed, aioe.org the second cleanest (but some
    misses in parts), then there is my ISPs who try but their feed is pretty polluted.

    I think I remember aioe's administrator didn't try very hard to clean newsgroups that were not English. The Spanish newsgroups I used to be in ended up completely trashed by flooders. Filling a report was a pain because you had to track 20 identical messages and then the admin would do essentially nothing to block the flooding.
