@dansup The bulk of my spam comes from outlook.com though, complete with novel length headers about how the email is not actually spam.

Before the turn of the century I worked in the MSN datacenter. Section 230 had not been clearly decided then, and the working premise was "if you moderate any content you are responsible for all of it".
MSN carried Usenet, but wouldnt moderate it to avoid liability. They needed a way to remove alt.binaries tho, so the Usenet feed lived on a server with a tiny hard drive and had to be truncated frequently. alt.binaries was always first because of size.

@ThePlant I wonder why you are spreading garbage from that site here?

@tk I bought a 14.4K modem just to download Slackware 2. Pretty hard to forget.
