   Yes, and as we all know, convenience trumps everything: cost, efficiency,   
   security, even personal safety.  (The latter might not apply to Usenet,   
   but it does to things like the 737 MAX.)

   I've found that the massive flood of spam which has hit many newsgroups   
   contains a tell-tale "Injection-Info" header.  I use slrn, and by adding   
   stanzas like the following to ~/News/Source:   
      
   [comp.*.*]   
   Score: =-9999   
   Expires: 9/14/2024   
   	Injection-Info: google*   
   	Newsgroup: comp\.*\.*   
      
   I lose all the spam while still seeing legitimate messages   
   from gmail vict^H^H^H^Husers.
