The spam posts are NOT being marked by other people. They're being
marked by the program you're using. MT-NewsWatcher has a built-in junk
filter.

It's not perfect, but you can train it to be more accurate. When you
see that it made a mistake, use the "Mark as Junk" or "Mark as Not Junk"
command to correct it.

For more info, read the MT-NW online manual:

Thank you and others who have pointed this out. I could not believe that
MT-NewsWatcher was so inept at extrapolating my junk markings so
inappropriately.

It's only as good as you train it to be. Train it, and it will improve.

    ... p.m., there were 43 spam posts with only 6 brewing posts interspersed among them; each one was posted under a different user name, making it extremely impractical to filter using my 'primative' reader, and it was made cumbersome because a few of the subject lines might possibly have even had some usefulness for a brewer, e.g., "Smith Ultra High Pressure Regulator Purging Nitrogen" might possibly have been posted by someone wanting to know if it could be used to regulate CO2 for a kegging system. ... in responding to another poster who seemed surprised that another brewing group has apparently 'bit the dust' -- no doubt due to spam -- I made a frustrated 'passing comment' that "Usenet Brewing Groups not what ...
