spams

You guys are wasting your time & bandwidth respoinding to any of the many
spams showing up here. The senders are NOT reading the responses - those
things go to hundreds of newsgroups. It's perpetrated mostly by zombied
machines and ONLY reporting them will achieve any impact on them. Enough
reports and they begin to be banned; over and over; until they have no
resources left. If you want to respond in a manly fashion, report them to
their sources. It's mostly google, shaw.ca and a few verizon's thrown in.

I tried reporting some of them to Google, but I kept on getting error
messages that the message was invalid.


I then just installed the Firefox blocking script and now I don't even
have to see them!
