% DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST???
While I usually do not post follow ups to garbage like this, I thought I
would give a little lesson on how to deal with this CRAP. Remember, it
is our internet and our Usenet. It is up to us to "police" it and keep
it "sane".
First you need a newsreader that will allow you to see the "header" of
the post. Here is the header of the original post:
From news.teleport.com!nntp.teleport.com!netnews3.nwnet.net!netnews.nwnet.net!ne While the poster "forged" his return address the From & Path line show The attached posting was found in rec.autos.simulators, and does not Welcome to rec.autos.simulators.

where the post originated. Also the NNTP-Posting-Host shows the same
domain interlog.com. I usually make an attempt to see if the domain
from which this stuff comes from has a web page. Usually stick "www."
in front of the domain name (http://www.racesimcentral.net/). If so, I check
their pages for some form of Terms or Policy regarding their service.
If it appears to be a legit ISP (one that isn't in existance to provide
Spamming havens), I take the time to send a "polite" message to the
the originating domain to provide them a complete copy of the post
including the headers. They must have the headers in order to track the
individual down and verify that the post did indeed originate from their

discussions of realistic computer simulations of automotive vehicles,
irrespective of the platforms on which the simulations are supported.
This includes simulations which have a competitive component (racing
simulations) and those which do not. Arcade racing simulators, which
give an overhead perspective and which do not attempt to provide realism
