Spamtrollers exist only in your mind, spammer. Spammers post the same
thing again and again, ie. EMP. Trolls look for a response: good, bad
or indifferent. You, Dave Yadallee, are the fish that seems incapable
of learning there is a hook hidden in the bait being trailed, in the
waters of you native habitat.

Trolling is what your buddy Tim does quite successfully, in
rec.arts.drwho, as each of his posts provokes a followup from you.
Tim's posts cannot be construed as spam, as each is unique and
individually crafted. They may be obnoxious and they are definitely
off-topic, but it is not spam and it is not network abuse. (Tim also
demonstrates a touch of originality and humor, both of which would
serve you well.)

Spamming is what you do, Dave, as your responses are copy and paste
boilerplate, which you post by the thousands. This is Excessive
Multi-Posting, as described in the spam FAQ:

http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/spam/

While you post followups to this FAQ, there is little evidence that
you have read, let alone understood it.

So far as your whining about Google Groups, what you are doing is not
going to make any difference. All you have demonstrated is that you
are abscessed and act by compulsion, while completely ignoring any
semblance of reality or normalcy. In the hundreds of thousands of
time you posted your demand, you have made exactly no progress toward
depeering Google Groups, while you, yourself, post links to your
Google Groups searches for your own spammed phrase.

You are never going to depeer Google Groups, no matter how many times
you post this inane demand.

Rather than trashing the newsgroups to which you post, have you
considered rendering your complaints to Google?

$ whois -h whois.abuse.net googlegroups.com
abuse@googlegroups.com (for googlegroups.com)
abuse@google.com (for googlegroups.com)

Your best hope is to annoy Google sufficiently, that they block access
to whatever group you think you're trying to protect. This is why one
cannot access news.admin.net-abuse.email, using the lame G2 http2nntp
(web2news) interface. It sure beats the hell out of simply
compounding the non-net-abuse issue of off-topic postings, by
spamming. Spamming Usenet is a network abuse issue.

Please stop spamming.
