Never happen, my friend. But there are people out there busily autocancelling mass spam postings, and as for email spams, I believe that eventually they will be made illegal much as fax spamming was a few years back.

Below is a revised charter for alt.support.crohns-colitis that hopefully addresses people’s concerns about posts selling products. Let me know what you think, including any further suggestions you may have. As usual, the majority opinion will prevail. Also, to all of you who have been flaming away lately, please note that the no flaming language is and always has been in the charter, as this is a support group, and repeated flaming is going to result in emails to your ISP, which can ultimately lead to your account being yanked. Please everyone, remember that people come here to feel better, and that it isn’t difficult to disagree politely. What is Alt.support.crohns-colitis? Alt.support.crohns-colitis was created in early 1994 as a forum where people suffering from ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and irritable bowel syndrome can share their everyday struggles with these illnesses, as well as discuss medicines, treatments, surgery, diet, health care providers, related illnesses, and anything else anyone can think of that relates to these diseases. In other words, this is the online equivalent of a support group, which means that no question is stupid and no condition embarrassing here. It also means we’re all here to help each other out, so please be nice, be polite, and no flaming. Discussions of all types of medicine- conventional and alternative, Western and Eastern, your Aunt Harriet’s home remedies, whatever- are welcome here; however, any person discussing a potential remedy which he or she also sells must explicitly state that they sell it in the first sentence of their post, regardless of whether or not they profit from such sales. Spamming is expressly forbidden as violating the rules of netiquette as well as those of this newsgroup. Finally, please keep in mind that no one knows what causes these illnesses, no one’s come up with a cure, and we need all the help we can get.
