A suggestion:

If you have a little time open each spam and view the header.
Actually just open it and then click *Forward* You should see the whole
header.
If the X-Abuse line shows
then *Forward* the
whole damn thing to
.
Just copy
and then use Ctrl V to paste it into
the To

Maybe if a lot of us keep at it the folks at google will:
1. Get the message
2. Get tired of being flooded with complaints
3. DO SOMETHING


In other words, react to a problem (usenet abuse) by CREATING MORE OF
IT.


Ummmm.... no. Read it again. He said to *forward* it to Google's abuse
account. That's an *email* complaint directly to Google.


OK, I'm a little bit off. You're reacting to a news problem by
creating an email problem. That's still reacting to a problem by
creating a problem.


Sure, but you have to look at who it's creating an email problem *for*:
Google. The same clowns who are responsible for the news problem.

What's wrong with that?
