Dear all:

We are researchers from Shih Hsin University and we are currently
launching the 2006 New Energy and Environmental Media Issues Survey,
this is a non-profit academic research. In this survey, we would like
to know your opinions about the topics of adoption and safety of new
energy related technology, and your opinion about Kyoto Protocol
related media issues. Your answers will produce valuable information
for our researchers. Your personal details will not be made publicly

available. You can find the URL as below: http://www.e-mediasurvey.com


As thanks for your participating in our survey, we will offer four
screen savers for the interviewees who complete the questionnaire. The
screen savers will be available for download on the final page of the
questionnaire. They include the photos of BMW H2R hydrogen vehicle,
BMW hybrid car, Honda hybrid cars 2001-2006 and Honda fuel cell
vehicles. We appreciate BMW and Honda allowing us to use these photos
to produce screen savers to help this academic research. Would you
please complete the questionnaire as part of the survey? Thank you for
your cooperation.

Not a chance, since you have misused usenet by multiposting this.
I could have forgiven a cross-post with follow-ups set, but not
this.

Please don't reply to these, they never read the responses and news
servers can filter them out. The first many here will have seen of this
spam is your response.

<OT> On what basis would a news server filter this message? I can't
imagine any that wouldn't filter a lot of desirable messages.

I suppose one could just filter on google groups - I've sometimes
considered it

If the server, or something else, detects that the same article has
been posted to a large number of newsgroups, it can mark it as spam
and filter it out on that basis.

Some years ago, when I still paid attention to this stuff, some people
were running scanners that would automatically detect spam and issue
advisory cancellations that would be honored by some (but not all)
servers. I don't know what the current state of affairs is. Anyone
who's curious should check news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.

I'm not sure, but news.individual.net did.

That certainly would keep the noise down!

I suppose, but that route seems pretty tricky, and easy to circumvent.

That might be the answer. There are still such services available.
Spamcop.net is one.

The same message multiposted many times, seems easy to filter. NIN
certainly did.
