This spam is the worst I've seen. It may be fruitless -- but we need to report the abuse. I'm an internet bar user so I'm basically stuck with google groups and I've basially given up trying to dig the good stuff out from under the spam. Posted a recent mass chaos and confusion article here for old times sake but I can't barely stand to try to read the group which is a shame cause I remember there being good stuff in here. |

I feel sorry for Marion and other legitimate posters who have to use GG. I'd be frustrated too. With a news agent and a fairly decent news reader, you can keep from seeing most of the garbage posts and spam. It is not just rbm that is getting hit. I look at a couple others. It seems like every group I look at has spam and its share of mutts who post garbage or other mutts who can't pass up replying to them. With a little regular maintenance on your filters, you can avoid most of it. This wave of spam is at least blindingly obvious, the mutts are harder to avoid. |

With a little regular maintenance on your filters, you can avoid most of it. I'm inclined to suggest something that has worked fairly well in other groups. How 'bout we begin the subject line of every legitimate thread with the letters RBM? That would distinguish the real stuff from the spam and crossposters. Anyone with a search feature could find it with relative ease. Bill __o | You never know what is enough _`\(,_ | until you know what is too much. (_)/ (_) | --William Blake |
