Similar messages, each crossposted to several groups but with different (seemingly) random identifier strings are showing up in other newsgroups. Some of the addresses in the from lines look like political organizations, but who knows if those are being spoofed. Each of these posted lists looks to be a little different, and they look to be the type of list you'd get out of a word count or text mining application.
