Is Suddenlink going to continue supporting News Groups? We are pleased to announce that Cox subscribers will see no change to their News Group service. Charter and Cebridge customers will receive instructions in the upcoming months regarding the improvements to their current service.

Its pretty easy to filter if one knows which host these messges are being injected into. Just put them into the blacklist.

I saw one pretty big nonsense flood several days ago, a few hundred in a cluster, and none since. I use Supernews, and they must be cleaning up the litter for me.
