I'm seeing massive amounts of spam on this group, is this just on my
newsserver or all around? It doesn't show up on any other newsgroups on
this
server. My guess is that a subscriber to rah has it's system infected with
a
spambot virus... Could everyone check/update their vurusscanner please?

Thanks,
Rob

First, make sure your e-mail return address is well spoofed, with more than
just writing spam in the middle of it.

I would venture a guess that someone (or you) is using e-bay, google groups,
or one of another million ways to get your address. It only has to be out
there once,..... then soon millions of spam lists will have your info on
them.

Best advise - filter, delete, ignore, or... change your e-mail address.

I don't believe he was talking about email, he said he was seeing a lot
of it on the newsgroup.

Ahh! Reading and comprehension do not necessarily go hand in hand.

I do have an excuse, of sorts. I got in from OSH this afternoon, after 17
hours on the road over two days, with five Aviation Explorers and camping
gear in my van. Let's just say that the souring effects of a couple days of
rain on camping gear and clothes, are not a "fresh" healthy thing to put up
with, in a closed car. ;-o The insanity defense, you know! g

Good time, and thanks to EVERYONE who helped make it happen.

Or just create some crap address at hotmail and use that for public
postings and for sites that you register for stuff at...
