I have registered a complaint with Altopia. If you read their very
liberal conditions, there is not much that they prohibit, but FLOODING
NEWSGROUPS is one thing that will get your account removed.

You are flooding newsgroups whenever you deliberately repeat the same post.

If a few others do the same thing, Altopia (alt.net) will cancel his
account. Try it and see. Altopia is really good about the issue of using
one of their accounts for flooding.
