  NANA // [Usenet] The newsgroups news.admin.net-abuse.*, devoted to
     fighting {spam} and network abuse. Each individual newsgroup is often
     referred to by adding a letter to NANA. For example, NANAU would refer
     to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.
  
     When spam began to be a serious problem around 1995, and a loose
     network of anti-spammers formed to combat it, spammers immediately
     accused them of being the {backbone cabal}, or the Cabal reborn. Though
     this was not true, spam-fighters ironically accepted the label and the
     tag line "There is No Cabal" reappeared (later, and now commonly,
     abbreviated to "TINC"). Nowadays "the Cabal" is generally understood to
     refer to the NANA regulars.
