Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004What's Happening?
Suddenly political posts are appearing in the guise of our regular posters, in reply to threads about cats; said replies have nothing to do with cats. I've noticed some other posters original on topic posts are appearing double where they weren't here that way before. Does someone need to do a virus scan or something? Is it my bellsouth host or do others see this too?

I just did a search on a random string from the posting-- the same thing has been pretty much spewed all over USENET this morning.

Joy Me too I wondered what was going on cause Steve doesn't usually write like that and it looked so strangeand out of context to the header.

The intention is to flood out the group and interfere with the group.

Another good reason for people to sign up, especially as it's free.

Then saw pretty much the same incomplete message from a couple other regulars, so figured it was someone with WAY too much time on their hands playing around - sort of like a troll. Hope it's not some new troll method, since it would be harder to ignore when the posts purport to be from regulars SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky (RB) stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
