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?

Killfiles. That's about it.

Is there a way to killfile the stupid watch spam? It's coming under so many
different emails.

Of course when I saw 1 spam from them I didn't even consider buying from a
watch. Now I've seen upwards of 200 messages I suddenly feel compelled to
buy ;-P

Killfile on "rolex" in subjects lines of all newsgroups.

Of course now they're putting entire messages just in the subject line, and
they're varying spellings. One problem I have is that it sometimes gets down to
what to filter out that wouldn't filter out real messages (you woudn't want to
filter out "watch", for example).

So sometimes it gets down to using what I call "the real life killfile" -
ignoring the ones that are left.
