However, in the past few days it's gotten so bad at google that
less than 1 in 10, maybe even less than 1 in 20, thread titles
even appear to be real sci.math, and that's including requests
for solutions manuals. I've taken to looking at the titles at
The Math Forum's sci.math web page, and either responding
directly from there or looking for the thread I'm interested
in at google. The Math Forum seems to be down this morning,
though, so I'm not sure if I'll be posting much (anymore?)
today . . .

Have faith in Google. They will get round to the problem and deal
with it.

By setting up a filter with not-so-cilvilized words in Netscape, I get
rid of 1/3 of the postings. Quite fortunately, the vocabulary of those
criminals is rather limited.
