Default spam on uk.d-i-y

The group appears to have run into something of a spam bombing with
long junk titles.

Any ideas to defeat the b******ers?

Some releif could be had if a posting title could be changed - but how
to do that?

If you use a newsreader such as Outlook Express, then you can set the
maximum number of lines to 50 or 60, this regurgitated ****e is always
192kb, meaning it's a lot more than this.....I've just done it, so thanks, I
can't tell you how to do it via Google froups.

Thanks for that - it works very nicely in PAN too!

I don't see them.
Of course, I don't use crap like googlegroups


Isn't it amazing *how many people one sees on NG's that just because
they are not using something then it's "crap". Maybe GG's is crap I
don't know. *But somehow I think crap is often overrated crappee.


You see the (obvious) spam in the topic list. You ignore it. End of
problem.
