It's an unmoderated newsgroup.
I used to access it through Thunderbird's newsgroup reader, but lost my acc=
ess-provider and haven't found a suitable replacement; the "Google Groups" =
web-interface used to be decent enough as I didn't mind skipping the (more =
infrequent) trash... but the new "update" to it has left it in a nearly-unu=
sable state. (For example: as I type this, there is strange screen-movement=
 that seems to be the consequence of some genius capturing the "on key pres=
s" event and forcing a redraw.) Back to Thunderbird (and many actual newsre=
aders), there are often killfiles/blacklists that you can use to simply nev=
er see a post a particular user or particular topic, these are very useful =
for filtering junk out... and even now, Comp.Lang.Ada is far, far less junk=
 than many other places for discussion.
