  VII.  Newsgroups most afflicted by MMF, February 1999
I have compiled a list of the most MMF-ridden newsgroups in February 1999.
Please note that this list is affected by many factors, such as:
  1. I don't get (or want) a full feed here, and a lot of the newsgroups
  listed are mostly leakage or crossposts.
  2. I don't cancel articles in moderated newsgroups and certain others
  (such as news.admin.*).
  3. Crossposts are listed as if they were multiple posts, unlike the
  Lupine Awards list above.
  4. The activities of other third-party cancelers are not compensated
  for.
With that in mind, here are the top 40 "MMF magnets" for last month.
Note that alt.alt.test made it to the top of the list by virtue of the
Bronze Lupine award winner.

Chiedo scusa per aver riproposto un articolo cosi` lungo, ma l'ho trovato
interessante e mi da lo spunto per qualche considerazione.
L'autore di questo report e' l'amministratore di un noto cancelbot che,
utilizzando frasi chiave da un database in costante aggiornamento,
individua e cancella queste sublimi manifestazioni di idiozia umana e in
questo modo fornisce un grosso contributo al tentativo di alcuni di
mantenere in vita usenet (e di questo oscuro lavoro ne beneficiamo anche
noi qui su it.*)
Notare che gloriosamente in 5 posizione tra i primi 40 lamer c'e` un
italiano che con piu' di 500 mensili post mantiene alto l'onore del nostro
pase (e di tin) nel mondo.
A proposito di tin, in seconda posizione tra i primi venti server di
origine dei MMF di febraio su usenet, tin surclassa di ben 7 posizioni IOL
(della serie siamo piccoli ma stiamo crescendo).
Infine tra i primi 40 ng abusati dagli eredi di Rasmus Lino/Lind/Lindt
c'e` it.annunci.commerciali, e' forse possibile che il Fesso Quadratico
Medio delle catene di sant'Antonio cerchi di postare in topic ?
