I was away for the last couple days and just now got a chance to read
the newsgroup. There were SO MANY new posts! However, I happened to breeze through them all in less than 10 minutes. This was of course due to all the offers of fake jewelry, watches, purses, etc. I access RCC through Google, which of course doesn't have killfile capabilities which would have significantly reduced the spam. Do these people really expect anyone from this group to respond? Do they care? Hell, do they even read this newsgroup? End of rant, all vented now and feel much better. Thank you for your concern. |

I'm a frequent reader and it annoys me how much spam there has been lately. I'm using outlook express and can block email addresses but because they all come from slightly different one's most of it still gets through. Anyone know how to reduce this type of spam in outlook express? Andrew |

Thank you for your concern. deep breath WE (as in you, me, and a few others) need to get real newsreaders (something Bigg Fredd advised us to do many years ago). :-) I reported the DOT.CHINA guy(s) to Google last week, but it seems either Google isn't doing anything or the spammers are changing their screen names quicker than we can report them. So, I just scan over the subject titles and ignore. The answer to all of your questions is, I doubt it. Maybe they got busted by ebay for selling fake coins, so they feel that as long as they say their watches are fakes, it's okay. I once contacted Zeeterman and asked him to preceed his auctions with FA, but apparently that fell on deaf (or blind as the case is) ears (okay, eyes). another deep breath Jerry |

The words "watch" and "watches" now feature in my filters, all gone, bliss. They must be the dumbest spammers ever if they think getting up peoples noses is a good way of attracting business. Billy |

My question is: Does anyone else bother to report these guys to the ISP? |

Agent does not qualify. It looks like crap to me. I hate it. Oh, and if it is a responsible newsreader and does not support yEnc then that is a definite plus. |
