No one apparently. Why do you think people are going to be attracted
to your group if you don't make an effort to block out spam or
deleting spam posts. Of the most recent posts, I counted at least 60
spam on the first 8 or 9 pages alone.

This group is kinda like the ugliest house on the block, the one with
the lawn never mowed, and covered up with weeds 6 feet tall. What
makes you think that people are going to want to visit?

Do you not understand the concept of unmoderated newsgroups? I read it
through eternal-september.org; the volume is low, but I don't think I've
encountered any spam.
