There many anti-spam systems out there that reject legitimate stuff by
design: firewalls that block connections from China, registration forms
that won't accept e-mail @hotmail.com addresses, web sites that won't
load for non-IE browsers... I you like such approach you're free to use
it but I don't like that philosophy. Usenet is too aggressive against
newbies already.
