I'm beginning to think a silver bullet might be the answer. We are certainly
going through a spell now. Hopefully the idiots will get a life soon, and leave
us alone.

Google doesn't have the option to filter posters, and the Google team
doesn't care (first amendment and all that).  Strange isn't it, that
when Paul (it is Paul, right?) is "Down" for a bit, these *things* come
out of the woodwork?

Almost like they were just waiting for him to be away (whimper,
whimper, whine).

Smokie Darling (Annie) - I am in NO way suggesting PTH has anything to
do with the trolls, aside from reporting them, and giving us the right
places to report them as well.

In google groups you can choose to receive this group via e-mail.
Gmail will give you over 2 gigs of space so you will have plenty of
room.  When you receive the e-mails you can set up filters, to take out
the trash. They have a filter  for senders and subjects.   -- MZ

I don't, just wanted to pop up and say I agree with you, that we have
been getting a lot of garbage lately. I stopped reading msa because of
the spam problem and would surely hate to see asa go that way too.
We need Paul to get better so he can come and be on patrol.

Diane and RoseB, don't go away. You know these people come and go, it's
just the price we pay. They'll be gone and we'll still be here.

It might help if enough people forward the spam (including full header) to the
appropriate "abuse@isp" (whatever shows in the header). saying that this
newsgroup does not allow advertising, or any other valid complaint (obscenity,
threats, etc.). Some ISP's won't act unless they get a lot of complaints.
