From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]:
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.
