I'm seeing a huge number of spam postings in this group. I'm sure they are

Suggestions?

I don't understand what the purpose of the spammer is. How does he

It is possible they want to push you into using news servers that
filter their attacks. Supernews, for example, might be behind this
attack. Either they, or someone claiming to be them, urged switching to
Supernews before the attack.

There are people who paint the "Mona Lisa." There are people who paint
mustaches on the "Mona Lisa." Sporgers are the latter.
