Haven't been in here in awhile, can't help noticing all the SPAM and
UNSOLICITED POSTS!

I seldom see spam here. Spam is commercial advertising.

I see lots of cross-posted trolls, but they are easy to spot and ignore.

This is a newsgroup, not email. ALL posts are "unsolicited", unless
you're publicly posting and asking someone to reply. In that case,
your original post would be unsolicited. ;-)
