They hide behind Google-Groups but those are likely forged.

I've run a traceroute on each IP from and the all originate for differing locations.

Since some are in HTML, if anyone sees one, ignore it or delete the message from
your newsreader.

This is a good thing that your newsreader can ignore HTML, unfortunately mine can't.
If the message header is suspect, I don't "read" aka open it.

Unfortunately, your post has a garbage title on it, to wit:
=?iso-8859-1?B?UmU6INPt49LHyiAoIMvt4yAtIMvt48fKICkg5Obf7ccgRTcxIOYgRTcy?=
=?iso-8859-1?B?IOPkIOXkxyDjzMfkxw==?=

Not wanting to add more fuel to the flames, all you ever wanted to know about Usenet
but were afraid to ask:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet>
