Looks like the usual levels of crazies to me between the spammers and
the Conspiracy Theorists that Gunner insists on tweeking.

Then again, I've been gone for a little while and I'm still getting my
filters re-tuned. Once I have the worst spewers in the bit-bucket,

Does your server show lots of messages as not available on the server any

No, but that's all up to your server. A lot of ISP's simply don't
care about Usenet anymore, that they offer it at all is a miracle.

Go yell at them, or give up and go to a premium server coughAPNcough
that actually has a damn to give.
