Re: wouldd a private server for posting create a RGPM within RGP?

I disagree. What punishment are you talking about? If you like the spam, or don't want the censorship, as I expect lots
will not, then continue to use your newsreader. If you *choose* to use whatever web based interface we're talking about
here, then you will not get the junk. I think I read that in another thread recpoker is planning to do add a spam filter
at their level. I think that's basically all we need.

The point I think is that people should have a choice. As it is now, it's spammer's law around these parts.

I agree that Usenet was *meant* to be read with a newsreader... It was also not *meant* to be flooded with spam.

they would still get all the spam
