In the good old days you could add some headers to your post to cause
follow up messages to also be posted to a test newsgroup that every
usenet server in the world would reply to. It was for sysadms to test
the system. But it was great for getting the trolls out of a group.
LOL At dialup speeds, they'd be out of action waiting for a few days
to download thousands of test messages. Back then a lot of usenet
systems were also on dial up. Anybody remember how to use a 'bang
path' to route mail?

I'm afraid you're spitting in the wind with this one.

This is a newsgroup on UseNet - the Wild West of the internet
and this newsgroup is Unmoderated - which means anyone can
post anything (as long as it's just "text" as opposed to "binaries"
which permit posting image files), There is no easy way to filter
out "spam".

Since you appear to be new to UseNet, be aware that in addition
to posts for products and services not related to the usenet
newsgroup's focus, you'll also see "phishing/fishing" messages
that are intended to provoke responses - from which e-mail
addresses can be gathered - or "points earned based on the
number of responses".

Your best bet is to just ignore messages that don't interest
you. These things come and go. This one will go away in a while.
