hey guys,
this porno stuff is getting WAY beyond funny. I don't know a lot about NGs,
but, is there a way to stop it? (these same f(*&$)*&# ing ads are on my other
NG's too, so they must be making an assult on us).

anyways, I'm on AOL, and so it only retains so many messages at a time. and
when you need to sort through like 100 porno ads (that I suppose nobody reads)
to find one or two posts, it's troubling.

any thoughs on getting rid of that crap and getting back to work?

I would set up another screen name - then only use a mixed up one to
post.

The bad news: You're with AOL.
They try to keep you in their intranet.
Means you don't get to the internet without effort to break out
of the AOL intranet.
They also have their own Newsservers.
Which I'm told means you have to use their newsreading software
to access their news servers, which probably won't work with
standard usenet providers. Don't know if another ramification is
lots of spam internal to AOLs newsservers. (wouldn't be
surprised though)

I'm not seeing hundereds of porno ads.
Venture to say others here who don't use AOL but some other
usenet provider aren't either.

Sad to say the only solution would be to either dump AOL, or get
an additional usenet provider. Then you could use other
newsreading software, and its' accompanying kill filter system.

There are some free news servers for text, and for binaries.
I don't have the info handy though.
You could check and/or ask here:
alt.binaries.news-server-comparison

Hi guys. Free Agent is a newserver. Just don't know if AOL will prevent it
from working. I wouldn't think so. I don't get those porn ads with my
service provider, either. I do have another address with Yahoo that I use in
the groups. With using Outlook Express, I could put in any old thing I want
as a name and address. AOL doesn't even let one use Outlook does it?

My newsreader (Agent) has a decent filtering facility. I don't see
any of the spam.
