I just got a reply from the spammer's ISP

Despite the headers saying it was coming from "usenetnow.com", it was
actually coming from an account at "usnetnow.net" - I went to that site and
left a formal complaint; this is the reply in full:

Hi-
Thanks. We took care of it.

UseNetNow.Net Support

That's all I got, but hopefully, the spammer is gone!

Yea... guessing by the baker's dozen posted since your post, I'd say you
alerted them that someone actually reads these groups and as such have
redoubled their efforts...

I've just gotten use to using "K" hotkey in Thunderbird to ignore those
threads...

Yeah. Heckuva job there, Alan.

I tried to use my Thunderbird filter system to delete anything with a
"@" in the sender name, but unfortunately, it checks not only the sender
name itself, but the address it came from, so deletes everything.
I say we track the ****er who's doing this down and cut his hands off
after blinding him.

But that's just one patriot's opinion. ;-)

Better yet, nail his testicles to his fingers. Merely cutting off his
hands and blinding him is too kind...

Keelhauling, flogging, and hanging from the yardarm are much more
appropriate for this spammer.

Well, it's better than sitting on my arse and whinging and whining about it.
At least I'm trying; what have you done to stop the spammers (other than
filtering them for your self)?

Well, there's always the Russian approach to dealing with spammers:

At least we're not getting that one catamite who kept posting all
sorts of criminal record claims against Alan like there was a few
years back. Whatever happened to that particular enema bandit, Alan?

It's (the "enema bandit" in question) is probably still out there. On one
of the aus. groups, it (the "enema bandit" in question) occasionally posts
about another victim, but hasn't mentioned me in some time.
