Why don't we dissolve this Group and form a new one under a different name.

Better to learn to filter. >Why don't we dissolve this Group Pretty much imposssible. Actually deleting a big 8 NG is unrealistic. There are groups which were officially removed a decade ago but are still carried by numerous servers. >and form a new one under a different name. >GET RID OF SPAM! That would be a _very_ temporary stop-gap measure that works only until the spam bot updates its NG list the next time. jue > Why don't we dissolve this Group and form a new one under a different name. > GET RID OF SPAM! > bOB Your not reading the group is no different for you from dissolving it.  SignatureWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Dissolve GOOGLE GROUPS and the spam will end. Until Google decides to get a handle on the spamming, you'll need to take the initiative and completely filter them out. When you eliminate Google groups, you'll find that 99% of the spam will vanish. <polkrobert...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > Why don't we dissolve this Group and form a new one under a different name. > GET RID OF SPAM! > bOB Tired of spam?

IMO, it isn't nearly as big a problem as some of the crackpots who post here. Administering a sanity test and an IQ test to new posters would improve this ng.

Yes, filtering is easy for most of us who've been around usenet a few clicks of the lunar or solar cycle. Main concern is the barrier all the spam and trolling erect for newbies who take one look and never come back. SignatureJohn McWilliams |
