Personally, I just reply to the group and I assume that the person has taken
anit-spam measures.  I mean, can you blame people?  Spam and porn have become
two of the biggest things on the internet.  Kind of like roaches being on a
population rise :)  It's really sad too.  Soon a person won't even be able to
do a simple Internet search with out running into porn sites.  But this isn't
the news group for this subject.
