Any Ideas on Turning off the Spammer?
All this being said, I'm not trying to put anyone down with this post.
I realize this is just me and the way I deal with things, and I respect
everyone else doing whatever they feel they have to do to deal with
Usenet.

This time, it was just plain annoying, to me.
I had probably 400 to 500 sporge (or whatever it is called) in one evening.
It just made the group useless, because it was so hard to find the good
posts.
I did get pretty fast at going though looking for the good posts, but there
were not many that were not bogus.
It was an unusual experience, even for usenet. I wouldn't mind if it never
happened again.
If it was supernews (or whoever it was that sent the warning message a week
ago) sending all the crap, (it seems likely that it was them, or someone
doing it under their direction) I wish they could catch them and fine the
crap out of them, and take away all business licenses away from them, if
that is possible.
No one has the right to do that crap, as far as I am concerned. It is just
the same as someone walking into my house, and dropping their drawers and
taking a big crap in the middle of my living room floor. I know I would
take a swing at them with a 2 X 4 firm on their posterior.
I feel better now. Thanks for listening, everyone! g
