Dear Newsmaster,
I'm noticing a strange activity in alt.test,
many messages like this: bdp-activity-2cea4c3d1bf8459d98704c0cf3aea505@livingmemorybear.invalid bdp-backfill-5f4e6f7cdf664a0bba40cded4a5a4595@livingmemorybear.invalid
i'm asking if it is done because today is September 11th
Cheers,
and remember that the love is the only way.

It seems that these messages contain JSON database records regarding
Usenet binaries. Seems that someone testing some kind of binary indexer software and using Usenet itself to store the data. I doubt anyone in
this group will know anything about it.
