However, in the case of the spam being discussed here, *neither*
blocking Google Groups nor gmail would have any effect, as this
particular asshole is posting through aioe.org and *not* using gmail
addresses.

End of spam (from aioe)

I responded too soon. All you did was killfile all aioe.org posts. Big
deal.

I'm not one of those who advocates viewing Usenet through
killfile-colored glasses: the spam and other **** is still here. You're
just pretending it isn't.

Do as you wish Dave. Someone did forge my yahoo email address in a post
here just within the hour and I fired off a complaint. we'll see how that
goes...heh. I doubt if they will respond. As far as kill files go I think
they are useful. Pan scores -9999 but still shows the posts exist in the
Group Pane tab. You can select to match articles with a score of -9999
and disable the scoring for all entries. I usually do that until the spam
gets heavy muddying the waters.
