I wasn't assuming your post was targeted at me. My point is that the only way usenet groups stay clean is when those that value them jump all over the spammer, preferably in unison, and deny the spammer any hope of making a sale. If they see no benefit they don't spam.

To just ignore them and hope they will go away has been the death of many a decent usenet group. And I won't idly stand by and watch that happen here.

That said my blood pressure remains about low. I don't get emotionally involved in anything except wine, women, song, and sail. And not necessarily in that order.
