So I guess that means you should complain to the Clintons.


Or the Bushs or the Reagans.

Kotowing to the Chinese has been a bipartisan issue for
decades.

Remember these events before and after the Clinton
adminstration?

Tiananmen Square?
The EP-3 and crew seized after making an
emergency landing at Hainan Island?

Yet at no point was China's trading status as a
'Most favored nation' or whatever it is called today,
in any danger.

They have botnets on their side. You can't win that war...


It would be trivial for ISPs to detect the bots on infected PCs
on their networks and cut them off. The reason they don't, is
that they would be cutting off paying customers.

Back in the days before there were ISPs on the internet, system
administrators acted responsibly to curb abuse issues and
had the support of their management as the abuse reflected
badly on the reputation of the online entity, (typically a
corporation,
university, or government agency). Now termination of an abuser
costs the online entity revenue and so typically an ISP abuse
department, even if they have one, is forbidden to terminate
customers unless they don't pay.

It doesn't work nearly as well any more. First, it is harder to track down
posters and, second, some of the ISPs that host most of the offenders are
not responsive. In the current wave of SPAM, nearly all comes from Google
but they seem unwilling to do anything about it.

Do a google search on 'Usenet Death Penalty'.

Exactly.

There's no one way to killfile everything from .cn either
as many are registered in .hk and other locales.

So just killfile everything that comes through Google. POOF! no spam.

If that's the only solution you can think of, then perhaps you should try a
solution that a lot of other people have thought of: killfile Google Groups.

Yep, finally did that tonight. The filter rule set was just getting too
big. Just killing the source of the problem is more effective,
unfortunately there's probably some collateral damage but more than likely
I will see what those posters generated by the quotes from the non-google
folks.

Did you write the complaints in English? Of course, they will not respond
because they don't understand English.
