So far nothing even coming close to that here. Just a few showing on the

news reader programmed for a Mac instead of a PC might be relevant.

The newsreader doesn't have anything to do with how many of those
posts would show up on your news server.

Then why am I showing 10 posts and others are showing many more?

perhaps giganews is doing a better job of filtering at the server than
some of the other news folks.

Could be. I use RCN's news server on the East Coast of the US. They use
the usual array of spam filters I would imagine; at least that's what
they keep telling us anyway :-)
The result here so far has been nowhere near what others have been
reporting as to quantity. Without knowing anything much about these
issues, I would guess that whatever RCN is using to filter is being
effective against this spam threat at least to a point. I'm still
showing several of these posts but not anything really bothersome yet.
