If a post or reply looks like nonsense text, or is offensive (not in the normal flame wars style), do not worry about it, and DO NOT reply to it, even if it appears to have come from you. This is part of a battle that is going on with a spammer trying to take down an anti-spam newsgroup. The idea is to flood other newsgroups with material that will trigger an outraged reaction and so contribute to a widely distributed attack on the news.admin.net-abuse.email group. These messages will arrive with faked headers and generally appear to come from well known local posters here.
Please don't reply to these fakes because it will only make the problem worse.
If you want more info try Googling for "dippy" and "flood".
Mike, you are spot on.... I have gone to 'tools', 'message rules', 'newsgroups', and created a rule to eliminate one of the threads on this n.g..... It is hard not to read them when they are in front of you, but if you don't see them, they don't exist....
If someone wants to exclude notes from a specific id, that can be done, too.... the only thing not available is deletion by message text in the body of the note.

Thank you I was going to give my puter an enima after one of these posts was here in my name I thought I might have contracted some sort of virus my scanner missed.

Pretty obvious replying to ads, Nigerian spammers, etc.- with unknown origin. But people do, and away it goes.
Now this idiotic post bashing BROL. We will see what moron responds; and that garbage will multiply and be crossposted until everyone is argueing with everyone. Damn annoying!
I second that sentiment: PLEASE DO NOT REPLY . Chris Jordan Santa Cruz, CA.
