I leave the room for five minutes and there are 70 new articles?!

I leave the room for five minutes and there are 70 new articles?! In FIVE MINUTES?! I fetched new headers, marked most of about 20 articles (in the past 12 hours or so) read and actually read a handful, went to get coffee, came back, fetched headers again, and 70 new articles?! What the fuck. Get lives, you people!

There is a spambot that is duplicating old messages. Arne

While I've seen some spam over the last few weeks, I've seen very little lately. I think Eternal-September is doing a good job filtering most of it out.

Google Groups does not appear to be filtering the duplicates. On aioe, my kill filter has fired 925 times since 2-Aug-2012. -- John B.
