I've had pretty good luck with MT-NewsWatcher, a freeware Mac newsreader
that performs Bayesian spam filtering. Thunderbird's Usenet reader also
offers Bayesian filtering, which presumably works just as well for
classifying Usenet spam as it does at handling email spam.
So download a "real" NNTP client for whatever platform you're on and
give its spam filter a shot; clearly Google is not interested in
fighting spam itself.

Plonking anything posted via google.groups is the simplest
answer.

Yes, but it's hard to give him that advice with a straight face until
I've convinced him to stop using Google Groups to begin with ;)

When using Google Groups can one kill all posts made via Google
Groups? Presuming he has no burning need to see his own posts
(something that can't be said for everybody in the history of
Usenet), it might still be a viable approach.

The problem is, if we had followed that advice, none of us would have seen
his post.

I'm reporting most spam, but I don't have high hopes Google cares. We
could start a new group (non-usenet Google Groups allow message
removal), but I guess most people would rather simply plonk GG posts.
Perhaps we could find a way to tag spam threads that would auto-plonk
those threads in our preferred reader (email, newsreader and
Greasemonkey killfile)? This has the drawback that spam posted to ham
threads would be hard to block...
Regards,
Daniel
P.S.: I prefer posting from Google Groups, I'd rather avoid posting at
all than having to use a different client... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi and Thanks in advance for taking a look at my question.
I am using an "include" page with a sub to open a db connection for multiple
Recordsets. My problem is that in some cases I need to use set connection
parameters such as adOpenDynamic, adLockPessimistic, adCmdText.
Is there a way to add these to the "Open Data Connection Command" or to the
"Open Recordset Command"?
