Anyone know of a way to rid these gardening related
newsgroups from that obviously confused M15 British
spammer? A real pest.

he posts to pretty much every group his current provider
carries & has been doing so since at least 1993. he posts, he
gets his account yanked for spamming, he's quiet for a bit
until he finds a new provider, wash, rinse, repeat, ad
nauseum.
short answer is just report him to his provider & hope it's
not one that doesn't give a damn about spammers. if you do
report him, abuse needs full headers, full text & when & where
you saw the posts (IOW, if you see it on 15 groups, say which
ones, but you only need the headers & text from one).
meanwhile, you're 2 weeks late bitching, as he lost his last
provider about 10 days ago.
lee also getting a real newsreader instead of using Google
helps cut the visible spam immensely
