i think to cross post that to all ham ng's should be considered as
spam.

One mail at one newsgroup (is that spam?).
Some people see new adresses of other newsgroups! (hey is that an idea
for
people whoe does not know?).

The 'Rules of the Road' for Usenet hold that a post is not spam if
it has a BI (Breidbart Index) of less than 20. The BI is calculated by
taking the square root of the total number of groups an article is
posted to.

Full details on this measure may be found here.

From what I can see, Cor posted an identical message to six
groups. The square root of six is about 2.45, so his message cannot be
considered spam under Usenet guidelines.

Said guidelines are here.

If his posts bother you, well... most Usenet newsreaders do have a
filter or 'killfile' function. ;-)


Pity you didn't read the whole article and spot the 45 day window Doc

Our friend has a current "probable" BI of 12.63 over a 9 day window at the
DSRS net abuse lookup archive. I have *not* checked for any nym shifts and
this present post has not yet reached the archive
