   yeah i edited that one to just filter out certain usenet spammers.   
      
   but now there's filters that work so well in a way i didn't even realize.   
   i probably didn't even need to do that and could have blocked the ip and it    
   would have looked for the ip when importing.  i had no idea it worked that    
   way. i thought the ip blocking was for when people connected to your servers.    
   it extends to ips listed in newsgroups and emails.   
      
   ... We're entering the Bond-Age, in more ways than one.
