I don't have a counter on my filter but I checked the delete log, pages

kookfests come and go. But when some skiddo drops to using a bot
to attach usenet, that's when I make a few phone calls.
I don't use the service, but you might consider giving supernews a shot.
Andrew runs a tight ship there and is very proactive when it comes to
spam and bot attacks.
