I doubt there were 440 individual responses.  Try grepping the message-id field
out of the articles and see how many different ones there are.  For instance,
on our site there are 3369 different articles (some not about JJ) of which
3027 are unique.

I think the most offensive are the people who post requesting everyone
to call the post office, call him at home, mail the site he posted from,
call a lawyer and so on.  They all seem to be able to think of new subject
lines so that kill files can not find them; and are all cross posted to 
every possible news group; and are all completely content-free.
