Hi, Usenet!

[Alex S.]

Hello! This is my first post that isn't a reply to someone else's. I got
on usenet today and I already like it, but the spam; not so much. I
somehow haven't encountered a flame war yet, and hope I never do :)

Yeahhh, spam's become a bit of a problem, COMP.LANG.C used to have
overwhelming amounts of spam about stuff like BIG FREE MONEY, DRUGS
MUSHROOMS BUY BUY, and so on and so on in giant walls in between
discussions about coding.

Thankfully, a lot of the groups I'm in don't have to deal with it, plus
Google Groups is disabling posting to heavy-spammed newgroups

(Idk who they're even fooling tbh, someone who found their way onto
USEnet in 2023 clearly ain't gonna fall for the oldest spam in the book...)

Nevertheless, welcome to USEnet
