Whats with all of the spam on the newsgroups all of a sudden. I mean, the fishing one has had it for a while, but now rec.aquaria does too. Is there anything that can be done about it?

newsgroups are unmoderated so there not much that can be done :(

Guess it's a trade off for the free advertiseing
