You can't have it both ways. I'm a firm believer in non-moderated
newsgroups. As much as I hate the "Nasty Cheerleaders" yada yada yada
posts, I want ALL on-topic posts to stay, and once you start moderating a
group, all garuntees of that are null-and-void. The US just shot down the
Communications decency act for a reason, if we want total freedom in our
posts, we need to put up with the crap that clogs the bandwidth, it's just
a simple fact. Best thing to do is go through the headers of any spam,
send them to the postmaster, and let them take care of it. Failing that,
just whack the "next" key on your browser and ignore the junk.
