MANy are going to have to change behaviors.

Congratulations on your superior brain.

Thank you :-)

As I read the groups via Google Groups, I get *everything* too.
I don't find it to be fun to be bombarded by asshats' posts
--and THE BULK of the junk I see are REPEATS
which have been posted AFTER that asshat has been reported.

Most folks are realizing
that the problem with the Internet is IRRESPONSIBLE PROVIDERS.

No, providers provide a service, that said, I use 'direct-adsl',
in the Netherlands, so I am my own provider.
Run my own http server, ftp server, mail server, and name server.
I do _not_ run a news server, that service is very well done by aioe.org,
one of the very few open servers (that allow anyone to read and post for free).
There are always a few who abuse such a service, same as in traffic,
most people drive on the right side, but some ghost drivers piss of everybody.
You do not blame the ghost drivers on the owner of the infrastructure.



While hostmasters like yours at aioe.org are quite diligent
about **protecting THEIR subscribers** from INBOUND crap,
_the problem_ is **OUTBOUND traffic** (from ALL domains).

The jerk in charge at aioe.org has been given the evidence,
yet he won't block the childish actor
(it appears to be just 1 guy spewing all the abuse).

Perhaps because he does NOT post from aioe.org????
There is a lot of mail injection via mail-to-Usenet pathways,
and that is what is used, in such a case headers can be faked.

The silly attacks accusing aioe.org are likely because of ignorance.
Of course _some_ could originate there.


In that case, the alternative solution is FILTERING.

I wrote my own newsreader, NewsFleX, been around > 10 years now,
I read thousands of headers, many groups, and have fun.
You guys are doing something wrong, getting upset about spammers
is bad for your blood pressure, there will likely always be spammers,
unless you use a closed moderated group.
But then the moderators flip out ;-)
And I refuse to read moderated groups anyways.

See, it is the same as seeing advertising in the tube (underground),
you could try to stick white paper over every poster you see, but you will
run out of resources soon.


...and NOT subscribing to rogue elements of the online world
when there are alternatives available to you
will land you in fewer killfiles.

Killfiles... kill whatever you want, it is your time you are wasting.
And it won't work anyways.
