Are yet at the stage when we need to RFD for moderation or do you

In the last week or so it's notable how the gardeners on the group
have pulled together to keep the group afloat and deprive the idiots of
attention. Hats off to urg, especially the hardy newbies who survived a
steep learning curve.

Urg doesn't need a moderator imho. All we need do is stay alert, weed
the garden assiduously, and keep on composting.

Indeed - a good dose of NIN seems to work wonders (-:

... and use a news reader which has a decent filtering facility, AND
learn how to use it.

One of the most effective filters is to exclude items posted to more
that one or two groups. The spammers are looking for a stage and
frequently post to several groups at the same time.

Thanks for the tip Larry. Give my regards to Moe and Curly.
