Another suggestion re spam
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 BTW I use a munged *From* so Google can not even complain back at me. Lou |

That's an *email* complaint directly to Google. Which is a fine idea, except for one tiny problem: Google doesn't care, and won't do a damn thing about it.

Which is a fine idea, except for one tiny problem: Google doesn't care, and won't do a damn thing about it. Easier to just killfile all GoogleGroups traffic. Yes. |

Lou I'm betting the folks at Google have filters in place so that they don't have to see the complaints, LOL. If they actually read 1/4 of the complaints, they'd have a clue already... |

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.

They might "fix" Usenet by just eliminating it altogether. -- The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. - Attributed to Winston Churchill |
