I think you missed my point.  Currently my news server has three
messages in comp.sys.apple2.gno and none of them are spam.  They were
posted on December 9th, 19th and 25th.

I see NONE of the spam you guys talk about.  I only see your replies
to the spam which is why I was asking you to not spam the newsgroups
with your replies.  It would make my, and I'm sure many others, use of
the newsgroups that much more pleasant.

Please continue e-mailing abuse complaints, all I'm asking is that you
don't reply to the spams here in the regular newsgroups.  There is a
whole bunch of news.admin.net-abuse groups that would probably be more
appropriate and possibly even more effective.
