Since comp.lang.apl is not a moderated newsgroup, anyone is able to post
anything. Usually the fools posting such rubbish as the MI-5 stuff get
bored
and move on... some newsreaders have the ability to block posters or
(apparent)posting domains, and perhaps some have a way to define a rule to
immediately mark read a posting with specific strings in the subject (for
example). Other than after-the-fact defences like that, there is no
recourse. Its the wild, wild web.
