Selling? Buying? Maybe you should stop reading Usenet via Google Groups.

Do you really think spam is a NEW problem? I'm sure that if you went
back in time and asked the cavemen they'd say that half of the
cavepaintings were really saying 'Eat Og's mammoth. It good!'

Since I've always been basically Blinky's echo regarding this, it just has
to be said.

1. This is not a Google Group, and Google has nothing to do with it, other
than providing a ******* web interface to view it. This is Usenet, and it
is a completely different medium.

2. Get a proper newsreader and set up a Usenet account. news.individual.net
is a good one at a cheap rate, and filters out 99.9% of the crap you are
complaining about so that I never see it.

3. Blinky wouldn't have said this, because he would have never seen you. He
had all Google Groupers killfiled to begin with. I don't go that far except
in a few groups where they are a problem. I don't have to killfile them to
filer spam, because, as stated above, my provider does so.

I looked up his recent posting record. Three posts. In the first one,
a month ago, he said he was going to killfile this group. In the
second one, he asked if we thought he was a weirdo. He did mention that
he was 85 years old, so he predates rfc.

I have no clue what you're writing about?
I *might* see one or two spam messages a week. My filter is set up with
the obvious terms to catch most (shoes, Rolex, prada, etc.) and yet even
if I look to see the messages the filter has deleted there are actually
very few. My newsreader service must do a hellafa job before I'm
bothered with it.

My apologies to the elderly gent, then. Regardless of his age, how can
someone just announce rfc is going to die and think he'll be taken
seriously? Google Groups isn't Usenet.

You know that. I know that. I don't think Mikie does. He probably
thinks not only that rfc is part of GG, but that it was just born
yesterday.

If he's telling the truth, he's older than me but someone should tell
him that most news readers have the ability to set up rules and it's not
difficult.

A current microsoft.public group that I read seems to be under attack at
the moment and my rules only allow about 10% of the posts.

First he needs a news reader. People who think rfc is part of
GoogleGroups think that because they use GG for their access.

If you want to take on this project, more power to you. I wouldn't
touch it with a ten foot pole!

If you can't figure out the arrows, the block sender feature, or filters,
please load up all your computer equipment and turn it in, because you are
too stupid to own one.

I'm sorry, but if you're going to do Blinky and be credible, you must first
Super Glue a shark fin on top of your head. Now, get to it, and post
pictures when you're done. After that, we will know you have a clue what
you are posting about. And get a custom made fur hat to cover that fin when
you go out in the cold.

I've been fighting Google Groupers as long as Blinky.

That guy really had a way of getting people to listen to him, didn't he?

I thought briefly of changing my name to Winky the Shark, but Blinky was
doing a lot of things differently than me. I wouldn't tarnish his memory.
I'm not a shark. He did a lot of things that nobody could do as well.

The only thing we really had in common was that we both detest Google
Groups. Hell, he was a Dodgers fan.

Nonetheless, I loved the guy. I wish I would have told him how much I
always got a kick out of his posts, his sense of humor, etc.

Believe me - I took time out this week to tell others in my life how I feel
about them.
