Why are you wasting your time complaining about foul language? Usenet is
an "adult medium", and ISPs are not interested in foul language.

Here is an excerpt from my ISP's AUP:


Usenet is a robust medium that is intended for use by adults. Articles
may be posted that offend or annoy other users. These may contain foul
language or controversial viewpoints.

The Internet community does not generally consider it appropriate for
content-based decisions to be made by anyone except by an individual on
their own behalf. Therefore we do not consider this sort of article to
be "abuse" and directly actionable under the Usenet AUP. If you are
offended by articles made by one of the users of our network then you
should arrange not to read them in the future, by using facilities
provided within your newsreading software such as "killfiles".
