If I turn my filters off, then I do see a fair amount of spam. Another part
of the equation is what filtering you have on your own machine as your ISP
should also be deleting a lot of spams. Spam in newsgroups is just a fact
of life and it varies over time. I got the same two you probably did because
my filters missed them but it's no big deal.
When I empty my spam folder I do notice a lot of gmail spam sources when
they're parsed (if they'll parse all the way; some won't). And of course the
Chinese and Brazilian junk too, but I have both those countres completely
blocked; all I get is a message that a mail from Y has been deleted.

HTH,
