Excellent! I look forward to seeing some amateur Spectrum users
chatting about the crapness of the C64, or something.

How is this filtered ? I am using Outlook Express and didn't set up any
filter and have it filtered.

how is what filtered?
d'y'mean the original message chris replied to?
I didn't see that either, I have no filtering/killfiling in this newsgroup
apart from MI5 blokey, so obviously, it means one thing...

The NNTP server blocked it.

Many ISPs do their best to filter usenet spam, occasionally some
numpty takes it on him or herself to repost spam and add on some witty
comment like "hur hur this is spam", at which point the filtering was
all for nothing.

Might as well put "used a Spectrum" on your CV, since it indicates far more
technical skill than anything recent. "Implemented rounded corners for a
social networking site."

Eq.

All you need then is #speccy on the right sort of saturday night when
myself, Daren, Scrib and maybe even Fuzzix (if he can be convinced to
turn his cam on) are all around :p

Thanks a lot for bringing my attention to this valuable resource.

All part of the service!

I'm sure the amateurs will be using rubber (keyboards) and playing
with their joysticks as we speak. They may even be interfacing with
their microdrives. I don't expect to see any floppies, but there may
be a hard drive on display.

I didn't want you or the other denizens of c.s.s missing out on /that/
sort of action!

There was, a long time ago, but my general fuckwittedness caused it to
go offline rather sharpish:)

Alex Farthead used to do that quite a lot -- he never trimmed the spam
he was replying to, not even the URL. That, and he posted those long
and boring NQAS posts. And then he wondered why the rest of us hated
him...

At least when I make "witty" replies to spam, as a bare minimum I
mangle the URL, or better still remove it completely, so that I'm not
doing the spammers' work for them, as La Farthead so often did.
