Hi George,

I wrote a program that is collecting the spams coming through googlegroups, and then it posts them through the abuse report interface on:
http://groups.google.com/support/bin/request.py?page=&contact_type=abuse_legal_iss

and I'm not sure if it does any good. I don't know if they're replying to those reports because I put the spammer's email address in the report.

If you'd like I'll post each complaint with your e-mail address, then at least on your behalf will have been sent around 1000 complaints.
