Initially, when I read this, I thought that this was not the case, at least for comp.arch, as I had just posted there on Google Groups. However, somewhat later, I did try again - having switched to Eternal September to _read_ it without the spam flood - and I found that this was true... and, in addition, now Google Groups is requiring a CAPTCHA to post to any other group.
