I agree with that.  Off and on, the group gets hijacked and taken for
a joy ride by spanish-speaking video traders.  Absolutely no regard.

It's worse than spam.  And probably just so they can post in a group
with very low volume and pretend it's their personal playground.  That
way, they don't have to pull massive amounts of headers to scan the
group.

My 2 cents!
