    Why would anyone slam this newsgroup so hard with spam?

    I spent the day messing with tin, trn, and Thunderbird jumping back into
    Usenet and found this mess. I'm not willing to block all of Google
    Groups, so the next best thing would be to kill the poster in the
    Injection-Info header.

    But tin can't do this, trn is really slow to do it, and Thunderbird's
    custom header filter is hopelessly broken. Fffff!

    They can all kill based on the Subject, though, so I grabbed a
    super-common Thai character and went with that and it seemed effective.
    This was with TB; not sure if trn or tin can handle Unicode...?

    In slrn, I ended up plopping the following into my scorefile using
    the following regular expression, generated by ChatGPT:

    %BOS
    %Score created on Thu Oct 19 23:25:36 2023
    % block all korean language subjects

    [comp.lang.c]
    Score: =-9999
    %Expires:
    Subject: [가-힣]+
    %EOS

    Yes, technically it might block legitimate C-related articles in the
    Korean language, but I wouldn't be able to understand those anyway,
    so... ;-)
    Thank you! It is better then killin all google groups posting!
