I used to access this NG from my email client where it was easy to
delete/filter spam, but TWC has discontined NGs.
Anybody know how to delete/filter spam on Google Groups? This NG
seems to get a lot of Asian, etc. spam.


Uh, don't use Google Groups. Use a news feed that filters (most of)
it for you. Giganews is one.


Yes, I looked into them briefly, but was discouraged by screwed-up
responses.
Maybe I will try again. I'd rather have a free service than pay for
NGs, as little
as I use them, but people do speak well of Giganews.

Of course if you switch ISPs from Comcast to Earthlink, you get
Giganews included. Cheaper, too.


I'm not with Comcast, but with Time Warner (tfui!)

Thanks for the thought about Earthlink, but I would never use them
because their founder and some of the big shots are Scientologists,
and I wouldn't
want to put a penny into their coffers.


The founder was a scientologist. In 1996, the CEO was a Southern Baptist and
the CFO was a Roman Catholic.

Now that I know that in its early years Earthlink had a Papist on its staff,
I may have to reconsider its use.
