What is HAPPENING to our beloved garden group? So much obscene and
other trash I found upon returning from a brief trip. Please folks,
find yourself another forum!

Get off Google Groups and the problem solves itself.

Try a real Usenet server.

Most well-run news services filter out much of the spam, and a decent
newsreader will allow you to filter out much of what's left.

Most of the spam originates at Google Groups itself, and they refuse to
do anything about it. If you use their service, you are supporting
their support of that spam.

I agree and can't imagine using usenet with out filters. Just not kill
files of people BTW but threads or words I find trivial. I have maybe
some guy or gal trying to sell me shoes or sex drugs twice a week. ))
In Mail I use spamsieve and my provider kills much in barracuda.
Killed Charlie too till I finessed it. So be careful with killing stuff
and ruthless othertimes sometimes.
On the other hand I can filter friends as a must read.

P.S. Just killed four stink bugs.

It's a rare occurrence that I see any spam on Usenet these days.
Imagine that.
