Is it my service or is it just quiet in here?
I've seen no messages in here all day - just testing to see if my
netnews service is having problems, or if it's just slow here. jmc |

Those of us who use normal news servers (aioe, albasani or eternal-september, to name e few free ones), instead of Google, see almost no spam. It /is/ quiet in here. |

I use individual.net, which is reasonably good at filtering spam. You two are the only posts I've seen in over 24 hours. Thanks. I was thinking maybe Usenet was broken g. jmc |

Sometimes, silence is Golden. Could mean everyone's cat is well for the day
or at least behaving. "jmc" wrote in message ... I've seen no messages in here all day - just testing to see if my netnews service is having problems, or if it's just slow here. jmc |

It's not quiet at all in here if you count the avalanche of SPAM lately. It comes from your stinking news server Google Groups. I have heard that Google has started including a link at the top of the page for reporting spam, maybe like MSN Hotmail. If all you have to do is click on it, please do. Maybe that will eventually slow it down. Not any legitimate posts though. Maybe the SPAM is chasing people away. FirstHit |
