    I've seen these in a number of groups that I frequent. Unfortunately,
    in minimally active groups, such as how this group has become, they are
    a lot more evident. Hopefully, this garbage doesn't take over.

    The way to make it less noticeable is to post a lot of real information.
    Any takers?

    Complain to the politicians, they have the power to shut down spammers
    if enough people contact them. Otherwise no one does anything...

    5+ years ago, this group was happening... lots of new relevant posts.
    I'd like to know what happened?? Is no one working on old radios any more?

    Sure they are. But now they're on ARF, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Most
    people don't even know that Usenet exists. Some have found it on Google, Yahoo, etc. but they think it is part of those.
