looking after this site

Does anyone monitor what letters are accepted on this site? I look at it for
advice, information and general help on Lexus matters. I do not expect to
read adverts for enlarging my genitals.

Is there anyway of removing these letters without opening them?

Sorry to sound so prude, but there is a place for everything.

I do not think you are a prude, I also find this type of posting disgusting.
One post is bad enough, but why post multiple times?

As far as I know, no one monitors the newsgroups. There are newsgroups that
are moderated by someone (they usually have moderated in their name), but
the majority of the groups are like this one. Anyone can post anything they
like to the group. Only good manners prevent the type of trash that we have
been seeing for the past few days.

You can block those users or use some kind of filter. As far as I know these

messages cannot be deleted. You can do something about it though. Check your
newsreader to see if it can display the message source. (Outlook Express,
rightclick on the message header -> Properties -> Details) One of the recent

As you can see, it originated from Belgium and you can easily complain to
the ISP. Make sure to include the message header (as above) when you send
(use the forward function) to the ISP.
