to/too. So you're saying GGers are "too basic?" In many cases, that is
true...

I still use V2.0.0.24, but only for email. TB is not a good newsreader,
so I use one that is much better. I have no problem killing GG posts
with but a single line in my score file. I also can white-list known
worthwhile GG posters, which I do when they become known to me. (The
ones Jerry mentioned.)

It's not 'newbies' .. it's the spam. If you can convince Google to
prohibit the spam, I'll gladly remove my filter.

Did you know there is an enterprising programmer selling an automated
program for sending huge volumes of spam through google groups? And they
let him get away with it?
