What's with all the spam and trolling in here lately? There's been an
explosion of it lately, many times more than any other newsgroup I
participate in. Has anyone identified for sure where it's coming from? It's
getting hard to find the real posts in all the noise.

Well, there's the 13 year old at aoie.

This is another part of the puzzle:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:...CAPTCHA+Google

Notice that absolutely NONE of it is relevant to Electronics Servicing.
Maybe this N/G need as good, qualified, mentor and controller. IMHO
Like if this is the stuff that interested me it would be much easier to just
turn on the flippin tele and watch Jerry Springer and his dog and pony show!
Pretty sad that ignorance is seemingly giving privilege to disrupt and ruin
what once was a good thing.

Install News Proxy and filter out everything from Google Groups.

http://improve-usenet.org/index.html tells you how.

Maybe with enough complaints Google will do something about it. Wishful
thinking I know.

Google will lose ad revenue if the fix their USENET mess, and money
is the only reason they bought the old Deja archives.

Wishful thinking, indeed.
One of the symptoms of insanity is repeating an action over and over
again whilst expecting different, positive results.

Just filter anything from google. OE will do that no?


I don't think it has any usenet filtering at all. I installed NewsProxy and
will give that a try.

No. Only email addresses. Newsproxy will get rid of 'anything'
posted through google.

Per James Sweet:

The Linux group is similarly afflicted, as is sci.med.
