Help keep this group rubbish free

I think we are pretty lucky as a group as we don't tend to get too
much unwanted rubbish. Would encourage everyone to report any spam
posted here - quite simple if you have not done this before and it
only takes 2 secs. Open the msg in question click on more options and
then on report.

Cheer-up it's Friday and snowing out there!

Report to whom? This is an unmoderated, usenet newsgroup.

Not everyone uses google groups I'm afraid

Good point that I had missed! Those using google groups can do so.
Will certainly do myself.

Not everyone can remember what was in the post to which you are
replying - better to leave a little in as I have done.

As your posts are off-topic for this newsgroup, one assumes that you have
already reported yourself.

Good point. I will endeavour to do this in the future.

I really don't see how google can pretend to manage abuse of open
usenet. I've just had a look at their 'abuse' screen, and it contains
the following options:

- This post is spam.
- This post contains adult content.
- This post contains unauthorized copyrighted content.
- This post contains false or defamatory content.
- This post contains illegal content.
- Other.

My response to this is:
- I can't see that they can really do anything about spam.
- I don't see *why* they should be allowed to care about adult
content.
- Do they have a team of lawyers checking copyright?
- Do they have a team of libel lawyers on standby?
- Which country's laws are they going to use as a test of legality.

It all seems like ******** to me.
