Thanks, but Im aware of my own whois info. What did this prove?

Nicely sidestepped by the way. Seemed like a desperate act of intimidation,
but it failed hopelessly.

You can read headers and use whois! wow!


The usenet is still routinely spammed. You are still wrong. Google is
powerless to stop it, since GOOGLE IS NOT USENET.


You are right. "Google" is a search engine that also owns "Google
Groups" which is a HTML based portal into Usenet where a large part of
all spam is dumped onto Usenet. They bought the old "Deja News" usenet
archive and turned it into "Goggle Groups". Goggle will cancel a
"Goggle Groups" user account for spamming. Try to post through "Google
Groups" without signing up with a valid E-mail address, id10t.

Who said anything about posting on google groups without a valid email?

I like the way you guys keep shifting the goalposts in order to 'win' an
argument which is practically indefensible. Reporting that guy to google
would acheive *nothing*. Sure, his account would be banned sooner or later,
but he would just grab another one, or use a different service. His spam is
already on the usenet, cancelling his account now only prevents future spam
through that single account. Most of us had already downloaded the headers
for his spam, and we cant 'undownload' them. They could cancel his posts,
but none of us look at them anyway, and not all usenet servers would accept
the cancellation.

Like I said, its been nearly 20 years (from memory), and it hasnt gotten any
better over that time. Ive been using usenet since about 1992. Trust me, it
really hasnt improved.



And you call me a meathead? Nice one.


Definitely, and the flies are getting thick as they swarm around the
maggots who are trying to hide the evidence.

heh. I have a 190 IQ dip***. I also have a BSc in computer science. I full
understand how the usenet works (or doesnt) thanks. Just because Im not
some hopeless redneck with a complete inability to reason, like yourself,
doesnt make me a 'meathead'. What would your qualifications be by the way?
Im just wondering why you feel compelled to comment on something you
obviously have zero idea about.

Come back when you can actual follow basic logic, and you arent busy mashing
faeces into the wall with your fingers.
