I just spent a few minutes reporting some of the spammers
on this
board... not sure if it will do any good. Is there
anything else besides reporting it that can be done?

get a newsreader with a good filter.
you are reading through googlegroups, which has to be the
*worst* way possible to read Usenet.
there are excellent dedicated newsreaders, some of which are
free & some you can buy. i use xNews, which is free.
you can use Outlook Express to read news, & it's a step up
from reading googlegroups but nowhere as good as an actual
newsreader.
if msn doesn't have a NNTP server, there are a few free
servers, & several excellent pay subscription servers out
there you can use.
i do see a few spam posts, but not more than 5-6 per week.
