Not everyone uses your newsreader. For many your post shows up as a
standalone post. just FYI.

And some of us use news providers who are pretty good at filtering the
spam before it even hits the groups.

Then, we get to see the folks who decide to respond to posts we've
never seen (and would have ignored in any event).

As I see those folks like BobS, who don't have a clue how Usenet works
and what is appropriate behaviour in reponse to spam, forgers and
trolls, I give them an introduction to my killfile. It's amazing how
little I miss them.
