Google should have some filter options so we can eliminate at least
some of these advertisements for fake Swiss watches, "Pleather"
suitases and other crap!


You just don't get it. Google is the source of all that crap, and the
longer it takes you to wade through the crap, the more money they get
for their paid advertising that is on every page you go to. If you want
to get rid of the crap dump Google groups and get an account on a real
news server.

Your IP address resolves to optonline.net. According to
http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm optonline.net has their own news
server, or a third party provider at news.optonline.net

All you need is any of the free news reader software, and to
configure the news server as news.optonline.net so you can use kill
filters, or a proxy server to do advanced filtering.

Use any search engine other than Google till they stop polluting USENET
with porn and junk commercial SPAM

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm
