It's too bad we have people trying to abuse the privilege of this

etc. we all know that crap comes from China if you're so interested in
selling it go on television we don't need that kind of garbage on this

This is an unmoderated newsgroup, not a web based forum, or a "Google
Group". For those accessing via a proper newsreader client - or even, dare I
say it, O.E. - it is very easy to set filters to block the vast majority of
the watch and shoe sales posts. If you search the group's posts for the last
couple of months, you will find that there was a long thread about doing
this just a few weeks ago, and there have been others going back over some
years.

Close. The majority of it comes from googlegroups nowadays. As a
googlegrouper yourself, perhaps you can complain to Google. Otherwise,
this is the good old usenet; you have our sympathy. Get a real news
client (Free Agent is popular), find a real usenet server, and learn
about filtering.

Newsgroups such as this ain't moderated. Really the whole point of them.
And can you imagine the amount of work reading and approving every single
post - for free?

Best to set up a filter for the worst offenders. Starting with g-mail.

If you access this group through Google, then you should download the
free "Trollkiller" program to eliminate the spam:

Thank you for the URL.

Do you know if a vrsion of trollkiller works with Opera 9.64? I'll
ask in their User Group and see if they have something.

At the URL, it looked like trollkiller only worked with WinXP stuff.
Or, does it work with IE6 on Win98?

Sorry Robert, I don't know if they have a version for Opera. It would
be a good idea to ask them for sure.

Trollkiller should work with Win98SE if you have netframework 2.0
installed I think.

Here's another free program that's a killfile program for Google (and
it works in win98):
