Nope. As John says, we just have to wait it out. This is a bad shit
storm, but similar things have happened before.
Unfortunately, the bot seems to be spewing out one day's worth of spam
and then changing its nym for the next day's. Not even a killfile will help.
NOBODY CLICK THIS STUFF! Maybe the bot will eventually give up.
There’s another onslaught. Is this the final result of Google taking over DejaNews decades ago? Enabling others to do evil?
I’ve been seeing some on the iphone newgroup but not nearly as bad as here.
