OMG you committed the fatal sin by publishing your own full email
address here! That is of course, it is genuine!
Obviously a newbie [well judging from your posting history] to Usenet
if it is.
IF you have been around Usenet long enough, you would know that Google
is *not* a friend to Usenet since they took over deja.
Look at any Usenet ng, including this one, and see where the majority
of the spam is originating - Google.
