I haven't looked at comp.arch.fpga, but I can certainly see how some
groups might have worse spam than others. I wonder how the dirtbags
choose which groups to spam. It certainly can't be based on traffic,
because I regularly read groups which have the gigantic traffic levels
of comp.arch.fpga and see very little spam.
I suppose it's possible that my upstream server is doing some sort of
spam filtering. I should ask them.

Very few in
the groups that I read, with the notable exception of
comp.lang.fortran. It seems the spammers don't consider Usenet to be
profitable anymore.
comp.arch.fpga has been slammed into near oblivion for a while. For
extra grins, most of the sci.electronics tree is basically unreadable
for all the spam... :(
Maybe it's just my Astraweb feed... near-100% completion on binaries,
but spammed to hell...
