Hi Dale I'm not Brad but I do post to a number of Usenet groups, including comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc and I do get some spam (maybe five a day at most, usually only one or two). The majority (up to 30 at present) come by way of a number of unmoderated mailing lists that I'm on, where someone spams the list and all recipients get it :( Fortunately that doesn't happen (rarely, if ever) here. Interestingly very little comes to this email address, which is always posted in clear text in my signature in all my posts, whether email or Usenet. A number of people use some form of spam trap in their reply-to address or use an obviously fake made up one, with their real address in their signature.
