    The best way to view Usenet is through a real provider and
    Eternal-September is one of the best free providers around. The admin
    is actively working to filter out the spam flood coming from Google Groups.

    Easy to setup, easy to use and you can add your own filters.

    Yay to E-S admin! I see that RGP on Google Groups has had over 200 spams
    since Oct 24 - and NONE of them made it through Eternal-0September's
    filters!

    Pity the GG is so easy to set up for spam, and odd that only RGP seems
    to be really targeted...

    Actually this latest flood seems to be cycling through a number of
    groups, right now it seems it's RGP's turn.
