Anybody know how to delete/filter spam on Google Groups? This NG seems
to get a lot of Asian, etc. spam.

TIA

Check out "aioe.org", it's a free
service that I use and I never see
a lot of Spam. The site has instructions
on how to setup various newsreaders.

Googlegroups also gets filtered out by a lot of wise people so the op's
posts do not get seen unless a less wise person responds to them.


I don't use Google Groups that much
because spammers can pick up your
E-mail address. The only time I use
GG is when I'm on a computer other
than my own and then usually just
to read posts.

Google Groups is an portal Usenet, silly.
If you look at my headers, you may notice
my E-mail addresses, try sending me an E-
mail. I haven't seen a way to protect my
E-mail address in GG without a lot of
contortions and inconvenience.
