Jim Cassell tells me that Indirect.Com (Canter & Siegel attorneys) have
lost USENET privledges due to their indiscriminant posting of their sales
pitch.  Apparently, their MO is to send it to a few lists at a time (maybe
yesterday was their day to pick on statisticians?) and raise the ire of
thousands at a time instead of millions all at once (the better to deal
with the incoming mail, I suppose).
 
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to filter out *.indirect.com, unless you
actually WANT to hear from Canter & Siegel.
