    I am a big fan of Thunderbird for my newsreader, have been for years.

    Eternal-September is my goto for a news server, it's free and the owner
    has done a lot of work to filter out the spam flood from Google Groups.

    I took the time to setup Seamonkey and eternal-September and i don't see
    much of the spam anymore. It's a PIA, but it's worth the time.

    I've seen zero spam using e-t since Google shut down their user portal.

    Quite quiet - a bit too quiet, but maybe folks will come back or join us
    here once they realize the spam has gone.

    I can barely find a single post that isn't spam and I think that guy
    Cody Chun or Chung or whatever his last name is has been flooding this newsgor9up with spam constantly. There's a lot of jealous people on this newsgroup who wish they could play a pinball machine like me but every
    in their dreams it could never happen.
