you have piqued my curiosity Douggie, how is crossposting "attracting the 
attention of Chinese spammers"
what specifically causes a cross post to attract their attention ??
I would have thought that they just download a list of available news
groups 
and then set their little script to spam the lot, far cheaper (even at the

average slave labour rates the Chinese pay) than having someone looking
for 
cross posts and flagging them for "immediate Attention"
