At one point, a Johnson guard asked Pearson, "Who are you and where are you going?"
Not that I can point you in the correct direction, but Google Groups is a haven for spammers. In fact, I stopped using it a while ago for this reason. I do find it odd that gmail is very good at filtering spam, but groups isn't/doesn't. tv
