Well, here is an excerpt from Yahoo!'s Terms of Service, detailing
prohibited conduct:

"Uploading, posting, emailing, or transmitting the same message, URL, or
post multiple times."

If a message is posted to multiple UseNet newsgroups, it may not
technically be "Spam!" but it's still against Yahoo!'s Terms of Service.
And many other ISPs have similar policies.

ingredients into the ever-growing pot of cybersoup:

NEWSGROUP "SPAM" - No Such Thing. Newsgroups are public.

What is "SPAM"? Unsolicited messages? Then everyone that
post to a newsgroups is "spamming" unless they are responding
to a direct question.

What is Off Topic? Anything that isn't relevant to the
group description? Then 99% of newsgroup posters are
spammers. You've never posted an off topic comment?
You can't lie. It's archived in Google.

Links to websites are spam? Then what are those links
in your signature? OH....it's ok to "SPAM" a little bit.
As a matter of fact its ok to "SPAM" a lot because you
include those links in your signature everytime you
post.

If you want a MODERATED group. Shut the hell up and go
join one or create one yourself.

NEWSGROUPS ARE PUBLIC.
