Why some folks reply to the SPAM posts is beyond me. They are here
today and gone tomorrow. Spammers never read any replies to the original post. |

I must have my filters set with the right words... things like "Nike" "shoes" "Ebay" "Prada" etc. When you see a spam post just enter a few of the obvious words into your filter under "subject contains" and it should weed out the worst of it. At least it does for me. |

Depends. The "professional" spammers are gone in seconds. The few individuals do read and do reply, but they are the minority. |

Sometimes they are not really responding to the spammer but just want the group to see what they have to say. Not a good idea, I know. Tom |

The reason I started replying to the SPAMS is because I can cut the length of their Subject lined down to nil, which makes my experience of looking at rec.food.cooking a LOT better in GoogleGroups.com.

The only time I see cross-posted messages is when someone here decides to reply. I also see no spam on my roadrunner email account and I have it set not to filter my mail. But the account I use here catches a lot. But I must say that in the last couple of months even the yahoo spam as decreased substantially. I only get about 100 per week now, used to be 1000 or more in a week. -- Susan N. "Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, 48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy."

Still, a lot of spammers have "shoes" as part of their name. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |
