There is so much spam rubbish posted now. divoch I can see about 5 such posts since the beginning of the month, if you are seeing considerably more I suggest you change your newsserver for one with better filters. Mind you, the number of legitimate posts has been low recently, consequently the signal to noise ratio looks bad. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Mind you, the number of legitimate posts has been low recently, consequently the signal to noise ratio looks bad. I agree that this group has changed. I think that the spam has driven some people away. Some of the regulars, who were the bedrock of this group, are rarely seen now - very sad! It might be that some people come here for the first time, and see all the rubbish, so they don't take the group seriously and just go away. I use filters in my News Client. I use 'Pan' on Ubuntu Linux. So, look around for a News client that has good filters. Having said all that I think that these spammers are a b****y nuisance. It is like having a new carpet and then these people come in and ruin it with their muddy boots. I really hate them but what can you do? Something needs to be done about spam in general, on the Net, it is a massive waste of data. It slows the Net down and is bad for everyone. -- Please remove 'no_spam_' from email address |

I'm still here (it was me who started the group, for those with long enough memories ![]() these days. Still, at least we seem to have lost Ron Chew (although he's still around on uk.transport.buses amongst other places :-( ) Ivor |

I think you need to get a new provider and/or investigate usenet spam filtering. My provider, ntl , now virginmedia, has not changed. Maybe I need to do something about filtering but only because there is that much more spam. Maybe I shall not bother because, as Ivor pointed out, there is probably not that much new and relevant to say. divoch |
