    These newcomers aim to dethrone Tim from his undisputed, obsessive posting ratio.

    I'm using eternal-september, which seems to be filtering them out
    automatically (at the expense of occasionally filtering out a
    legitimate poster).

    I had to go to Google Groups to understand what you were
    talking about.

    Finally a blow of fresh air in the group.
    Dozens of similar users posting literally hundreds
    of spams every single day, in some other groups
    that I followed, rendered them totally unreadable.
    Please don't respond to them or even mention them
    in your posts, as that may possibly attract more by
    being caught by their radars.

    Even as I called most of his posts "spam", I came
    to understand his mental illness and his need to
    find a place of acceptance and existance in RGB.

    Google has a complete archive of all Newsgroups
    which is invaluable for searching, which then makes
    using their interface for reading/posting as well.
    Too bad Google refuses to filter content even upon
    complaint and worse yet, archives all that trash... :(
    But imagine that you are the arbiter at Google and
    Tim complains about spam from others in RGB,
    which of them would you filter...?? :(
