Yes. And thanks for the reminder. Wasn't thinking I guess.

What is the 'M15' spam? I use Thunderbird and using the search feature,
I can't find any message with 'M15' in the header, or From, or in the
body of any message. Perhaps my news server is filtering them before I
get them?

I'm using TB too and ng's are flooded with M15 crap. Filters don't
work. Am using Vista OS and wonder if this is fault.

Looking at M15 stuff, I get impression that person is mentally
unbalanced with excellent computer skills or he would be in jail or
mental facility by now.

No, your OS isn't at fault. It's your newsserver, or newsreader, that is
letting it through.
I just checked the website of my newsserver, and they claim this:

*Powerful spam prevention* — XXXXXXXXX was the first to develop
innovative filtering techniques, designed especially for Usenet spam. As
a result, we lead the industry in eliminating Usenet abuse, so your
users will never be continuously plagued with unwanted content.

Comcast addresses spam for email in their utility and for ng's in OE.
With new IE, OE did not appear to be addressed and Vista pointing to new
MS mail utility. Mozilla and Thunderbird do not appear to carry all the
baggage that MS wants to heap on us. I can work around M15 but it would
be nice to not have to.

It's a sporge attack, the asshat has been booted from multiple NSP's for it
so he just keeps signing up with a new one everytime. I think this latest
provider has now pulled the plug on him as well.

Don't think it is sporge. I mistakenly called it M15 but it is MI5.
sci.chem and sci.polymers are being sporged where headers and address
are constantly changing.
