It is also unkind to spam. That is what the OP is doing. He
doesn't care about popular names. He cares about getting
money.

unless he's the owner of pollspace, which i sincerely doubt,
he's not getting any money for people looking at or clicking
on his poll. therefore, it is not spamming.
i don't like spam any more than you do (& probably less,
since i was a sys admin at an ISP), but you really need to get
a grip sometimes Jeff why don't you get a real newsreader,
with real filters, & save yourself some aggrivation?

You know what?

I think filters and killfiles are all well and good and use them some.

But that doesn't mean that these kinds of things aren't part of a creeping crud
that has been crapping up Usenet in general, and contributing to its overall
decline.

I mean, why *should* we all have to chase these ever-shifting nyms and topics in
killfiles??!? It's a drag. As in a waste. Of time and energy and attention
and bandwidth. It's a putoff for a lot of users. I'm glad for Jeff's
netcopping. Even if this wasn't exactly spam or commercial stuff.
