Why on earth would one or two slimy cockroaches think for a moment that
this newsgroup is a fertile place in which to post their bullshit
articles for sale?

It's not as though they are spamming across all newsgroups, just
selected ones. This one and some Macintosh groups for example. What the
hell are they thinking? Surely no one in here gives a damn about buying
home appliances?

Anyone have an idea how to  squash them? Sigh. Realistically, I guess
not. Very depressing.

Your subject line looks more like part of the problem than the
solution.

For the time being, I've switched my news server to Motzarella, which
seems to be filtering it out.

They're still at it on rec.music.makers.piano but seem to have vanished from
this group. Is it any one's responsibility to monitor this kind of misuse?

Forget it, Jake. It's Usenet.
