I've got back to the 9th November 2023 marking all the spam advertising regulated goods and service. Google will probably get around to deleting all of it. The flood seems to have started on the 24th October 2023, so I've still got a way to go, but the end is in sight. Darius the particularly Dumb is a different kind of problem. John Larkin has been just as reliably wrong for a lot longer, and we haven't been able to either educate him or get him to shut up in twenty years. -- Bill Sloman, sydhey
Progess on marking spam.

That involved marking some stuff that I'm pretty sure that I'd marked on previous passes, so it may need to be repeated more than once. The flood did seems to start the 24th October, and there were quite a lot of call girls, fake drivers licenses, fake term papers, psychodelics and pharmaceuticals in the mix - it wasn't all on=line gambling. -- Bill Sloman,Sydney

Google - who now provides the IEEE e-mail aliasing service - gets me to log in with my ieee membership about once a fortnight. Eternal September doesn't. It's about as uncompromised as an e-mail address gets. It tracks backs back to my IEEE membership number, and fact that Google insists in using my full name reflects the fact that they got me to back up my identity with a scan of my passport. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

I'm not sure exactly when GG is ending, but I'll miss you posting your contemptuous nonsense here. However, there are alternatives available at very modest cost. I know you're just a poor pensioner and don't have much cash to spare, but even so, a sub to Giganews (to take just one example) doesn't cost a fortune. I think I can speak on behalf of *everyone* here when I say we'll miss you with the passing of GG if you don't find another route to Usenet.
