Just ignore him.John Larkin expects to be flattered. He clearly imagines that he is perfect just the way he is, so critical comments can only be malicious insults. That's a pretty pathological state. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Google makes it real easy to do a group spam report for each 30-line page. You just select the whole page and then de-select the very small number of real posts, usually none, on the page. Then press report symbol. I thought it would clean up the display but it didn't. In place of the spam post they have an italicized message about why the post is hidden, so the display is still a wasteland. > Yes, but it is much easier to pick out the listed posts you deselected, don't you think?My google groups is almost all spam per page, with maybe 0-3 real posts. Each page is 30 posts. So it's much easier to select the whole page and then deselect the 0-3 real posts. You hit the report spam icon, and the whole selected bunch gets reported at one time. It seems to be working, I didn't see a one new post of that garbage I reported yesterday. There were about 60 brand new spam authors today, and they were all reported the same way. It takes under a minute to get rid of that many.> > Also inadvertently discovered Google won't allow me to report my own post as spam. Must cause their report collection bot to flip out.

I don't have time to figure that out right now. I did ping Supernews and they claim to be working on the spam issue.

He insists on graphing everything, probably because his oversimplifications of equivalent circuits depart from reality too much.
