Most       of the spammers are those with gmail addresses, and all they wuill do       is move to other groups and destroy them. What they need to do is ban       the spammers, not ban the group.                     --       Steve Hayes       Web: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com/        http://hayesgreene.blogspot.com        http://groups.yahoo.com/group/afgen/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
