Default help- how do we get rid of all those spam messages?!

I use Google to view this group and it has become impossible to use
now. Is someone investigating how to stop them? Can someone find out
the IP address being used to post?

You could contact Google and ask them if they can filter the flood
postings. Or you could try using another usenet provider that is already
filtering them.

http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/ and http://news-
reader.org/uk.rec.gardening/ also have web-based mirrors of this group
rather like the google one.

I don't know if the flood postings have made it through there or not, but
it's worth a try.

Could it be that Marhsall Hamilton is responsible for the flood of postings.
Hmmm......

As is frequently the case with such attacks, the IP addresses are spoofed
and it is difficult to identify the real origins.

I suggest you just download the headers and use those as a filter, only
downloading the messages of interest.
