advertise it, but take note and reset your spam filters to "cool"
down.

My filters must be pretty well set. I'm seeing almost no spam at all.

I just scroll past it. I'm amazed at how annoyed people get by it. Some
groups have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than others.

noticed that a while ago.

The opposite of coldmail is _ _ _mail. It's just interesting to see
that the spammers I'm "not reading"/deleting at the moment are from
there and Gmail isn't the address dujour at this point - that's all.

IOW, they are flummoxed.

Which is why a couple of us have been telling you that you need
to killfile Google posts, and not base it on the return address
used to post the messages.

This is good news. Now maybe more people will wake up.

I don't need to kill every single google poster just because there are
a few bad apples and I certainly don't need to kill by domain. I can
just right click and kill by author or subject. End of story. It
tickles me that it takes them longer to morph than it takes me to kill
them.

Fortunately, I do not get many spams. Still, I have a difficult enough
time reading the rest of the posts. I am busy most weekends, so it
takes me the rest of the week, just to get caught up on the group. I
begin reading the group alphabetically, but if I can not catch up, I
will have to delete the rest of the messages. This is a busy group,
which is a good thing. I am just slow. 🙁
