Advertising is not to be part of misc.consumers.frugal-living. Refer

as rec.autos.marketplace) groups for private ads and biz.marketplace

consume more, in his lifetime, than he produces.
Excellent.
Thanks.
If you figure out how to stop the spam, let us know. Lots of people will be
interested.
Killfile on "Organization: http://groups.google.com" in all newsgroups.
If there's a Google poster you want to read--there are still a few who
aren't spammers--modify your killfile to let through just that email
address.
For this group, also killfile TheBestSpammer. Incidentally, several
weeks of reporting those to BellSouth resulted in nothing more than lots
of "we take spam very seriously" ignorebot responses.
To be fair to BellSouth, they were spawned by ATT and have now been
reabsorbed. So they combine the worst features of a huge malevolent ISP
with the worst features of a huge malevolent phone company.
