(Or is he/she/it in the hotel business, too, and resents the competition?) I must have encountered at least a DOZEN of his time-wasting posts already (and I still have half the threads to peruse). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because of the current email spam attacks my email account is not included, reply via the newsgroups or ask for a valid email address. |

Newsgroups destroyed by SPAM are common: just look to
rec.travel.budget.backpack for an example in the 'travel' domain: it's probably over 50% SPAM now. Let me offer you (and all) a better way to deal 127... Firstly: if *you* think its SPAM: REPORT IT OUTRIGHT YOURSELF: I notice your objections are not just cc'd here from your abuse report mail. What good is reporting SPAM to US??? We mostly know it is SPAM already. Should you wish to aid others in participating AGAINST NG SPAM I offer the following posting: please note the header info required for a proper complaint report... You *all* may note even the SPAMMY OP knows he's doing wrong and only risking a Google Usenet account... Therefore stupid to also include the other addy which is just as relevant to complain to. If the SPAM repeats we may also go after the commercial hosting ISP of the site he SPAMS on Usenet... : traceroute to WWW.BLUEVIEW.DE.VU (213.239.203.47), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * *10 FRA-2-pos700-2.de.lambdanet.net (82.197.136.42) 178.700 ms11 N-1-eth200-0.de.lambdanet.net (217.71.105.14) 183.582 ms12 lambdanet-upl.RZ2.hetzner.de (213.133.96.233) 184.559 ms13 gi-3-2.RS86001.RZ3.hetzner.de (213.133.96.58) 186.512 ms14 et-2-16.RS3K2.RZ3.hetzner.de (213.133.96.34) 186.512 ms15 213.239.203.2 (213.239.203.2) 189.441 ms Tim K "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote in message ... jt wrote: never rent from a spammer Oh for God's sake!!!!!
