What is all this junk XXX stuff on this site. If this is a amateur
radio homebrew site why have all this TRASH on it?
How about blocking this stuff and cleaning up the site so we don't
have to plow through trash to get to the good info!

The problem is that this is not "a site". This is Usenet.
Usenet is a distributed service that is hosted on many different
servers on the Internet, all under different control.
So there is no "blocking this stuff and cleaning up", at least not
on the servers. Any blocking you will have to do yourself on your
own system.

Ha!!! Since his "own system" is Google Groups, good luck with that!

Yep, if he's using Google then his problems are self-inflicted. I use
NEWSGUY and rarely does that crap get thru.

Those 'some of us ' could try the free news.eternal-september.org
