i get your point when imagining reading NSCP.O 4 posts on
a "decent" NewsReader, but fighting alone is useless and
just annoying.

If you want to do something about it, contact the maintainers of
all free newsreaders to insert the blink and
the latest gimmicks for future versions by default, set an
expiry time of 60 days for all binaries or even sources
so that the fight against the evil Wintelscape can proceed.
Guess it was doomed to fail.

Better put the annoying Content Type into your killfile
or even escape all posts from Netscape and Microsoft software,
so you have the illusion of a usenet without Winscape.
