13 reasons to move to StudeFolk now!

and one good reason to NOT go there.... you must join google groups as a member and be subject to THEIR spam in your mailbox and not in the NG....

Sorry but all is see this doing is causing one more split in a group and distracting folks. I'll stay right here.

I have access to the "ban user" button since I started the group.

Lee, I am a subscriber to a Google group, (G3,G4 & G5 List by Low End Mac), and have never received any spam as a result even from Google which is the opposite should you subscribe to a Yahoo group.

Me too!

Or everyone here could just block him and it's as if he never existed. I did shortly after he showed up and I don't see one of his posts. The last thing we need is yet another forum.

Lee

funny, I OWN a Yahoo group and moderate 2 more and IMO, if ANY group gets SPAM, the group OWNER is an idiot in setting it UP. I have NEVER gotten any spam. EXCEPT in 1 circumstance.. and that is its an OPEN group-ANYONE from ANYWHERE is allowed to post ANYTHING.. that is easily stopped cold, IF they bother to do so.

Outlook Express - click Tools, click Message Rules, click Blocked Sender's List, click Add, copy and paste his e-mail, click OK - DONE. He's invisible from that point forward.

Damn, what an annoying post to read with the capitol letters making sure you got your point across... I don't think any of us need to be lectured to in a condescending tone like you did in that post. We get it, CAPITOL LETTERS YELLING.

Lee

Capital.

Lee.. You won't get any spam from Google in your mailbox. I have been using Gmail for several years and I am amazed at how good their spam blocker and filter is. 'If' I go look at my spam junk file there's TONS of stuff in there, but I don't get any of it in my mailbox. Whatever you are using for your e-mail needs to have it's spam blocker on, active, and updated. I think that blocking the idjit's is the best method. Too many forums have definitely divided my limited attention span. The more forums there are, the less I care about any of them. Jeff

Need any more reasons to escape this cross-posting idiot from hell?

whatever

Well... I ask a simple question... What is/was wrong with the other Studebaker newsgroup on Google? (ref:

)If cross posting and spam is bad, then look at what is posted on this Studebaker newgroup and tell me how a new Google Studebaker newsgroup is going to prevent it?Not trying to be a smartass, but from my viewpoint blocking the cross poster is easier than starting up new forums and following them across the Internet desert like nomads. Now, if there is better content and more interesting stuff there... I'm all for it. But it takes 'us' to provide content.

200 forums with ten poster's in each one will never replace two forums with a thousand each. But I will visit and read and hope I am proved wrong. Best of luck. Jeff
