Apart from checking posts headers and complaining about the relevant
ISPs, there's not much you can do AFAIK. This is usenet, not a mailing-list.

It is both actually. (e-mail address removed) is linked to comp.lang.python due
to a news gateway.

I accept that some things will never change, I've let your tiny minds

Yes, I know - but the OP explicitely mentionned c.l.py (re-read the

technically correct, but the idea is of course to keep all those
archives relatively clean and informative. the new fad i've observed
seems to be to initiate whole threads where previously spam very often
stopped short of any second post.

The ones that have received more than 2 responses have, the vast
majority of the time, been cross posts.
