The weak minded who know nothing need to blame something.

Some people use that as a way to eliminate most of the spam. I haven't
had much trouble with spam of late, I suspect because my news service
is getting it at their end.

It hasn't been too bad lately, but once in a while the group is
inundated with spam, most of it coming from gmail addresses. It is
unfortunate that some legitimate posters get filtered out but it saves
having to sort through the spam.

Your posting history is sad - actually pathetic. A dozen posts over an
11 hour span with a break of maybe two hours at one point? That is the
epitome of "Get a ****ing life" material.

It's pretty easy to make exceptions for legit posters and move it above the
gmail rule. "when it says soandso stop processing any more rules"

Piffle. I can do 11 posts in one hour and have time left over for
more.

Obviously you don't know the meaning of life.

I access the google groups by just going to google groups and I don't
use a gmail address. I just can't understand why anyone would get
upset of something like that. Most of the spam I get in my webmail box
doesn't come from gmail users. (shrug)

Oh, I see. Guess they've changed how to register. I don't remember
having the option of using anything other than gmail when I signed up.
In the mean time, I'm ok with having a usenet specific account.

I do.

Because:

1. The vast majority of anonymous spam, trolls & flame wars are sent
via google groups. (as in the anonymous cowards who follow Peter Lucas
around rfc).

2. rec.food.cooking is a Usenet group not an Internet forum, bulletin
board or chat group.

3. Most of legitimate posters who use google groups don't understand
the difference between Usenet and Internet, they also don't follow
basic Usenet etiquette, such as snipping unnecessary verbiage and not
top-posting, etc, etc, etc.

4. They are lazy, inconsiderate and clueless.

And last, but not least, because I said so ...

12 posts over 11 hours is not the same as 11 post in 1 hour.

You didn't understand what I said, so I'll interpret it for you: Only
lamers care that much about his posting habits, so look in a mirror to
see what "get a life" material is.

Ditto. I cannot post to a usenet server from work, and that's when I
have the most time (on breaks and lunch etc.) And I admit to
laziness, so I haven't set it up at home. Folks who feel ggroups is
too spammy will just have to do without me (no great loss to some of
them, as I'm not a hyper poster)

That's a stupid assumption. Google has always allowed email addresses
other then gmail to sign up for goole posting.

If you haven't noticed, spammers have google groups. None of my email
accounts used to google gets spammed like it used to.

The two aren't twined together. You do have to have a Google *account*,
which is a totally different thing from a gmail or googlegroups email
address.

I understand completely - except the "lamers" reference - that must be a
new word the kids are using.

Since I check the groups only once a day, if that, it takes all of three
seconds to look at the recent posts of one person. They are all on my
newsreader screen. I didn't have to resort to some google groups research.

The point is that he is posting nearly half the day - that *is* pathetic.

I post once a day - tops - and I'm in and out in 15-20 minutes. The
rest of my day I am working, sleeping, or otherwise enjoying life.

Get it now?

Unless you are dealing with a serious firewall and/or heavy IT
oversight, you can download a free newsreader and post through a free
news service.

Once again you have no idea what you are talking about...

Google Groups is not the "only way" to access Usenet from a hotel or any
other place. You can use any of the free or subscription news servers
wherever you are.

What the hell is a "googlegroups email address"?

When I log into googlegroups, I will see some pretty obvious spam, and
just ignore it. Is that what you are talking about? Or the spam that
is sent to addresses scraped off usenet groups? Since I use my gmail
address for that, it all seems to go straight to the spam folder, and
I never see it.

If neither of these is what you mean, please explain further.

Jill is right, I post through Google groups and have an account with
them, of course I also have a AOL address which make me doublty bad.

NOW I know why you are so sensitive on this subject that initially had
nothing to do with you. *You* should explore life outside of Usenet...

Nope, not I'm not sensitive. Why do you care so much about the
frequency of who is posting or the time span between their posts? The
fact that you actually had the nerve to post what you said about
Sheldon shows how little of any real importance you have to think
about.

My posting habits are no news to me. In fact I'm quite proud of them.

I can post as much as I want without posting from work; I hold down a
full time job that keeps me busy more than 8 hours a day AND I have a
life complete with family and friends. Apparently you don't.
