What a plonker
So that "Television Engineers bbs" has done it again. Spammed this group
with a load of stuff from last year. I suspect that it's actually one of those email-harvesting sites that ask people to sign up to a "community" -- and that it has a "bulletin board system" that appears to be well-subscribed but is actually a disguised gateway to the Usenet system. It wouldn't be so bad if this guy could do it without screwing up his software. Same IP address as before in all the posts (82.32.147.215) which is a Viginmedia broadband connection. The site is still up at midday Wednesday at: http://82.32.147.215 or http://www.tvengineers.tzo.com Ho hum. I'll put another complaint into Virginmedia. -- Dave Farrance |

Not only one newsgroup but cross posting to others at the same time. This time all the MI5 crap has been reposted. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

Last night, he sent ~300 posts that were copies of posts that had been sent one year ago by people in this group, but with a recent date stamp added. I'm guessing that he's trying to set up a web based gateway to this group and messed it up. He did the same thing about six weeks ago, so he doesn't seem to learn too quickly from his mistakes. -- Dave Farrance |

It was at least three groups that I saw, all TV related, and much more than 300 in total. When the number of messages being downloaded by my newsreader got past two thousand and still rising I decided it was a good time to make some coffee, so I don't know the exact number it eventually reached. After it had stopped, the total number of new mesages indicated was a mere 800 or thereabouts, so maybe some of them were duplicates. Rod. |
