Please think about it for ten seconds before telling Rudy what he

them identical to others) in less than 1/2 hour, they're going to have
their messages cancelled no matter what they contain. Volume as well as
content can be newsgroup abuse.

Those who didn't actually see the huge number of replies (because they
were cancelled) should probably consider that they might not have all
of the information regarding a cancellation before deciding that the
moderators are doing something wrong.


Well, understood.
I guess he had a filter for Simon's IP or something like that and canceled them right away w/o taking a deeper look.
Considering the sheer amount of spam (and that part which we didn't see because it was already canceled), this seems to be pretty much reasonable.
