Using google groups is not       dependent on using gmail.       Any unmoderated public forum, on nntp or otherwise is open to misuse.       For some of us, who use a responsible news server (such as NIN) the       spam is kept to a minimum.       Its not down to gmail, but people who abuse the system and have no       respect for others. If I could think of a way to combat that I'd       support it.       --       Tickettyboo              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
