feck...
Figured something was up when James started spouting scripture... *g*
That is a creative bot. Never seen one grab a whole bunch of names, and
existing posts, off a list and reply an entire novel to a group.
Hope it doesn't catch on. That one will be tough to filter.

Well... it is.
MI5 is easy. Filter on subject.
Only way to filter these is on nntp posting host and Thunderbird doesn't
do that. (I know, get a real newsreader. right?*g*)
Seems they've given up for the moment. Hope they stay away...
