I don't think it is spam in a way...
The "Pathetic" messages are cross posted on many newsgroups.
My guess there are cryptic messages embedded in them for spying.
It use to be shortwave radios with codes. Much easier to send and
receive messages with public computers than carrying small radio Morris
Code transmitters.
I remember listening to shortwave years ago, then the cryptic codes
would come in at the same time each night. I know morse code, but could
not decipher them.

Would you care to try to explain who that works in the non HTML environment
of newsgroups?

The original post at first, just looks like a flame war going on.
However, There are too many misspelled words. Most computers have spell
checkers. Extra spacing in words that are not needed. The message looks
as if it was written by someone that is not intelligent. However, it
takes some knowledge to know how to use computers. Could be kids, spies,
governments who knows. It is my guess and I could be wrong and OP is
just simply nuts.
However, the person who posted the phase "Don't reply to spam, you
twit!", be a twit themselves for posting a message to this spammer?
I could not resist that last statement :)

I didn't ask for your assessment of the education and literacy level of the
spammer. I asked if you could explain how a post to a newsgroup which does
not support HTML could contain any cryptic messages embedded to enable
spying?
