Why do we tolerate this spam ?

this seems most likely a way to inject viruses into people's workflow.

That wiped out usenet. Ahh without an explaination; ( and it woudl have to be a good one ); what is the purpsoe of this, why is it here ?

Can it be eliminated ?

Regards,
Dan

Yes, follow the mailing list instead of the newsgroup. Most spam
doesn't reach us over here at the list.

If you want to stick with NNTP as your access protocol, you can follow
the list on gmane:

nntp://news.gmane.io/gmane.comp.python.general

However, the list recently stopped accepting posts via gmane, so
you'll need to configure your nntp client to e-mail posts to that
group.

moderated. I am very new but am working to build up a list of known
spammers so I can auto-delete their nonsense from my machine.

TEST Bank etc are Viruses payloads, as you know ....

Dan says:
Lifes full of things that are suboptimum an dmust be just toerated; this is one of those I suppose.
