Per,

I wonder if there is a problem or whether you are making a problem. There
about 2-3 SPAMs in TechNET per month. This is a rather small number compare
to the 5 or I get a day.

I delete at least 90% of TechNET posts immidiately. I don't mind to delete
1 SPAM more.

Keep in mind, there is no 100% SPAM proof system. Just a hit on the DELETE
will take care of it.

Off course I do take action with the SPAM I receive personally. I guess I
disconnected already 150 SPAMMer or so from there ISP. It's nice to get
those feed back - but to be honest, life to too short to bother too much
about SPAM.

Regards

Jens Behrens
