Though it appears to come from aol, in fact it is coming from eni.net, which
appears to be a spam hoasting server, so complaints to them will do not good. 
This ano other spams have been on almost every newsgroup at least once a day
for several weeks, they have diffferent header now on different newsgroups,
this appears to be so that users can't block all of the spam and we could in
the earlier spams. Most of his spams are for porno sites on 800/900 chats, but
there have been some others for web sites and other businesses, so it appears
he is running a spam business and is charging the people who contract with him.
You will notice that there are numbers at the end of his subject each time,
this must be some kind of ID, maybe for billing, and at the end of his posts a
bunch of garbage. We can't do much about them except complain to AOL, maybe
they will bring a copywrite suit against him for using an AOL address, though
forged or a through away account; you know the ones they give for free for 30
days; I use AOL only for posting since I'm able to block all E-mail.  You could
also complain to upstream suppliers who could cut his access off, but other
then that nothing, unless his customers find that his type of posting will cost
them business, then it will stop, but since most of his business appears to be
trash, they don't care.
