I no longer come here much. I leave the spammers to convert (or sell
to) each other. I have found www.woodworking.org as a much better
site. The users are universally friendly. There are no spammers. No
flamers. The degree of knowledge and information is wonderful. Try
it.

Spam and flames are part of Usenet. I try to filter the spam and ignore
the flames. (Some flames are quite entertaining, though.)

Using the free Google Groups doesn't get you much... You could actually
pay for NNTP access and get the ability to use effective filtering... or
move on to your website and quit complaining. As for me, I'm staying and
filtering.

There was a massive spam assault on Usenet several years
ago and it was successfully beaten back, though it took threats
of the Usenet Death Penalty (UDP) to do it. The UDP may
have to be revived to get the attention of Google

Don't let the spammers win.

I've actually been able to filter out virtually all the junk and only
see (with minor exceptions) valid posts. I use Agent and set up a
filter with all the words that are typically found in a spam header.

Belo is my filter:

cheap or china or rolex or 'low price' or wholesale or adidas or
sneakers or Hilfiger or replica or Hamilton or nowhere.com or boots or
nike or paypal or ladies or burberry or discountor or priority or
viagra or drug or casio or protek or dropshipper or dropship or swatch
or brasize or bra or dentist or penis or money

Would it be safe to say that you wouldn't vote for Hillary even if you
could?

it out and sort of lay low during floods..

Usenet is Usenet. It has nothing to do with browsers.
