   I brought this up about a week ago and Giltardo blamed me for bringing   
   attention to it. He thinks we wouldn't have all this   
   spam if I had ignored it. Giltardo is not very good at figuring things out.    
      
   I have Google Groups so I can't answer whether it is unique to those using   
   Google. I am curious as to why this has just    
   recently become a problem. What has changed that has suddenly brought all this   
   spam. The other unmoderated group I   
   participate in isn't subject to the spam. We do have one or more assholes who   
   just swamp post with pages and pages of   
   irrelevant posts, always with a different name. The most prolific poster   
   usually has an anti-Semitic rant.
