Killfiling ' was a last resort, but it seems to have done
the trick, combined with a few extra subject filters... I'm very sorry
to any real posters who I'm going to miss out on, but I couldn't take
the spam any more!

Ironically I have a gmail address myself, but it's not my only one,
and it's not the one I use on Usenet - it's the one I use for mailing
lists, newsletters etc. and other commercial junk that I don't
particularly want to see for the rest of my life!
