This watch spammer needs to be killed off. I wrote to Precision
Replicas telling them to stop this, but it seems that they must
condone it because it goes on and I've had no reply.

Hence I looked up this company and the details are given below . It
seems Godaddy are the ISP for them. Thus I wrote to Godaddy

Feel free to email Godaddy support on this issue so that these people
can feel some of the annoyance that spamming creates.

Google is doing quite well with spam on Gmail, anyone has an idea why
newsgroups are not spam filtered ?

How can I report cases of Usenet abuse from people posting
though Google Groups?

To report cases of Usenet abuse, click the More options link
at the top of the message and select Report this message.
On the report page, describe why you think the post is abusive.

Please be aware that, while we understand how annoying
off-topic posts can be, Google doesn't regularly monitor
or censor postings sent to Google Groups. However, we do try
to prevent wide-scale spam and other forms of Usenet abuse,
most notably involving numerous repeat offenses or the posting
of someone's personal information (such as credit card or
social security numbers).

We'll use all of the information we receive regarding abuse
and spam to make large-scale changes to fight all types of
abuse. In Google Groups discussion groups (not Usenet
newsgroups), you can also ask the owner or moderator to
remove a post.

For more information, please read our Terms of Service
