Blatant spam gets the spammer reported to its ISP (by me, at
least).

There is a FAQ Penney used to post periodically with the
netiquette for alt.sewing, but I haven't seen her here for
awhile. The spam to newsgroups is getting progressively
worse over time, google-groups and gmail are responsible for
most of it, but they do absolutely *nothing* about it.
