Any Ideas on Turning off the Spammer?

I'm seeing a huge number of spam postings in this group. I'm sure they are
from a bot, but since the address keeps switching, I don't know how to block
the messages in OE.

Suggestions?

Change your news service provider?

Supernews is apparently filtering it all; I'm not seeing it.

I couldn't tell the difference between these and the ones from MX.

My guess is that they ARE from MX. He ran out of stupid questions to ask, so
he's flooding the group with slightly less interesting drivel.

It seems to have slowed a good bit, if not completely stopped. I don't think
I have seen anything in about an hour or so on the Cox server.

Supernews could be the spammer. Someone posted last week that this group
was scheduled for a sporge flood and Supernews could filter it. Great
marketing technique.

News.individual.net is apparently also successfully filtering the
sporge.

WRT the spammer, I don't understand why people (or people with bots)
bother with this sort of foolish web vandalism. Some people
apparently have too much time on their hands.

What's funny is that it's so...inconsequential. Imagine, it's as if
(the horror!) we must all (wait for it...) have to (OMG!) actually
(argh!) use our CLICKING FINGER MORE OFTEN to avoid reading their
spam.

The hardship of it all... Why, I oughta...pour another cup of
coffee...

When you start a new thread, put a pictogram of an airplane at the
start of the topic, e.g.:
--|- (V-tail Bonanza)

That way at a glance a real thread from a pilot can be spotted.
