No, but I do wonder why more people don't kill file the idiots. If
everyone did, they would go away.

Use any search engine other than Google till they stop polluting USENET
with porn and junk commercial SPAM

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in
your account: http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm

Compared to googlegroups, those guys are lightweights but I do get your

at least they leave a hook to filter on for most newsreaders.
