Can anything be done to rid this news group of this recent torrent of
spams before it becomes totally impossible to find on topic posts?
There's nothing you can do other than scroll through them. You don't
need to read them in order to tell that they're spam, do you?
We enjoyed many years relatively spam-free (except for audio-related
spam) and now we're just like everybody else. Learn to skip over the
spam and get to the meat of the newsgroup.
I have made sure that keywords like trainers, handbag and Rolex are in
my kill filter; that way I see very little of it.

Add republican, democrat, terrorist and 9/11 and you might be on to
something :-) Oh yeah, and while you're at it add the phrase "under
$100" too!
Yeah, they all go in as they come along. My ISP used to filter out
just about everything I would regard as spam, but they changed to an
external feed and now all the crap flies in.
