sporgery [portmanteau of ‘spam’ or ‘spew’ and
‘forgery’. Massive floods of forged articles intended to
disrupt a newsgroup. Typically these have reasonable-looking headers but
complete gibberish for content, making the legitimate articles too
difficult to find. This tactic has been most notoriously used by the
Church of Scientology to disrupt discussion on the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, but is
unfortunately not by any means confined to that group.
