Pop ups on the news group
I was reading about "fish tank water" and got a pop up selling a method I'd
rather not describe. Has anyone else experienced this. The spam is bad but if this is the new thing then my participation on the web is over. Let me know. Rgds, Scott Clark |

Good God! I haven't had that yet. I think AOL filters them out.

Your client shouldn't open attachments without permission, and HTML in a newsgroup is very bad manners. Or, was this something direct to the bonsai mailing list that didn't get posted to the group? This group has been remarkably spam-free so far. Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at www.albany.net/~gwoods Zone 5/6 in upstate New York, 1200' elevation. NY WO G |

Pop ups on the news group
Gary,
I was reading the thread when all of a sudden this message flashed right over the top of post i was reading. My folders were all closed and all I had open was the usenet. Never saw that sort of thing before but I will say that I've been getting 50 to 100 spam a day - 50% in Korean. I'm so sick of it I haven't posted anything anywhere and I was hesitant to say anything about this event. The whole spam thing is so tiresome that if it happens again I think that'll be it for the newsgroups. Rgds, Scott "Gary Woods" wrote in message ...

You can get one of the the blocking software programs from this URL... http://www.coffeecup.com/popup-blocker/ I think it has something to do with having an Instant Messenger installed like AIM or Microsoft Messenger.
