 1. Thank you for correcting me. 
 2. Content moderation is, when a post is blocked for its content, 
 instead of its "spam factor". 
 3. I see no hint of CM in the rules below. If you're too ignorant 
 to restrict yourself to a handful (how about one?) newsgroup, 
 it's your fault. X-posting to t.o and alt.religion.j-w 
 seems still valid, if you could just get off the 
 "add group" button quickly enough, you could do it. 
 4. Your spam factor seems to have been a major concern to the 
 people organizing the t.o newsgroup. 
 5. Spam rules have a purpose. Keeping Usenet useful in spite 
 of the vandals. 
  
 Btw, in the post that started this thread, you included 
 alt.biology twice. You seem to get lost in your own maze. 
  
 Stop behaving like a political fugitive, it is disrespectful 
 towards the people that >really< get harassed for their views.
