The spammer "qq" [1] may have generated 12% of the bandwidth on your

newsserver but certainly not on the MS newsserver.



When MS finally drops WinXP General from its newsserver, you're gonna see a

lot more spam!

You're wrong, of course. What amount of spam you see depends not on

where the group is propagated, but where you read it. If you read it on

GG, well, you'll get all you can eat spam, and then some.
