He is responding to spam, and identifying it as such. I've taught my
newsreader to just discard it.

What spam is he responding to?

I don't see it on google's "groups" server (usually the spam filtering
on google's server is very weak or non-existant) but in this case I
don't see it:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser/topics

It's been my observation that a lot of spam that appears in the
microsoft.public groups are actually injected by Microsoft's own servers
- an indication they are poorly managed.

Ignore Peter. He doesn't get it.

In my experience, most spam is injected by Google Groups. Do you consider
them "poorly managed"?

In any case, the spam in question was not injected by Microsoft's own
servers, but by NNTP servers run by Astraweb.
