... I read these messages via the Google home page As it turns out, the majority of the spam is coming from google users. google has never replied to any of my complaints, nor do the appear to be doing anything to reduce this spam. You should find another provider. I'm hoping my ISP will simply block all google messages. |

How would that be enforced? If that works, could we also update the charter to exclude any posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much easier for me. ------------------------------- Travis Bottom posting and trimming but not happy about it. Lake N3094P PWK |

The Acceptable Use Policy of some anonymous news providers (notably Altopia alt.net include their intent to discipline the users who post articles to newsgroups that are contrary to the newsgroup charter.

To have the newsgroup charter amended to contain such language would require a majority vote. |

Bertie Larry's post is off-topic, so I've asked his service provider to close his account. It should be done by COB Monday. Excellent. Usenet will be safe once again. Bertie |
