It has to do with items being posted in this newsgroup containing gibberish in
the from and subject lines. This doesn't happen in other newsgroups I read.

Items have been posted here with gibberish from and subject lines. This
doesn't happen in the other Usenet newsgroups I read, except for another virus
newsgroup. It doesn't happen in soc.motss, ba.broadcast, rec,radio.broadcast,
or even in the HUGE alt.english.usage newsgroup.

But it happens here.

David indicated it came because of something in an alt. group, totally
unrelated to THIS group.

Cute how the whole world is now supposed to use English as its written
language if they wish to use Usenet and communicate. Thank goodness we
have all these Usenet "cops" to protect us here... seems to overlook the
fact this group is carried in foreign nations... Windows products are
sold world-wide, and all the other little things that make up this world...

Historically and technically the microsoft.public.* groups are hosted
on an NNTP server, the web interfaces are recent developments.
