No one's spammed networks intentionally, as far as I know.
Misconfigurations or liberal configurations seem to be the culprit.

It used to be you could have some faith that things you posted on BBSes
stayed on the networks - but too many people have allowed access to
their message bases via the web and they've been crawled by Google and
other search indexes.

In all fairness, I've needed to look up a Synchronet issue that I know
was discussed, and I'll google it - even though there's a copy of the
very message I'm looking for on my system. There is some advantage.



.... Have you ever seen anything like this place?
