Something to consider. when using GG. I forgot the "option" button
that says you can report the post. *click* first on the list is
"Report Spam". it's already marked. Comments, I put "constant spam!"

Whne at work the old machine doesn't take kindly to a reader, and I
use GG then. and have been marking all the watch/purse/ tennis shoe
hawkers.

Don't know if it will help knock them off GG but it's worth a try.

pizza.

well under $100.- Hide quoted text -

Google has no incentive to decrease messages good or bad. Each message
you look at is another potential ad-click.

They will when it gets so bad that everyone filters all messages from
googlegroups, as I do now. I haven't seen a spam message from china
in weeks. And I don't mind not seeing real people who post from
google groups either because the S/N is so low.

If you want to get rid of all the china spam yourself, see:
http://improve-usenet.org/filters_ex2.html

I use NewsProxy,
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/ftp...ms/nps-124.zip
on Windows XP and in the past used Leafnode,
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/ on Linux.

Leafnode is a full fledged news server that downloads and stores
messages on your computer and lets you use your client offline.
NewsProxy is just a proxy server for your news client that lets you
filter on anything possible in the message, like Message-ID, which
most clients can not filter on. You have to filter on Message-ID to
be sure you get rid of all the google groups china spam.

Try NewsProxy. You'll be happy you did.
