today, comp.lang.lisp is 95% spam.

let's help save it. Regardless what newsgroup readers you use, when
you do your daily newsgroup reading, please take 15 seconds to go to:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/topics

then, click on the “Report as spam” for the 10 spam posts that shows
on the first page.

Thanks.

I'm reading it on news.sunsite.dk, there is relatively little spam there
(except that recent "lucius Starnes" outbreak), probably they do some spam
filtering...
Just saying.

Similar story here. But taking a couple minutes a day might make this
better for the rest of the world.

Worth a shot.

I think it's just Google Groups that is 95% spam. Like other posters,
aside from the recent Lucius problem, I see very little spam. Reporting
things as spam to Google won't help any of the posters who aren't using
Google (and I bet there are a lot, in a programming group). So feel free
to report spam, of course, but a more productive course might be to try
out a news server that does more reliable filtering, if you're having
serious, persistent problems on Google.

http://www.lispforum.com doesn't seem that affected by spam. (Perhaps
due to first post moderated)
