Maple is just another clueless recruiter who thinks he/she has made a great
leap in understanding by thinking that he/she can get by with posting
employment solicitations in technical newsgroups. See my reply to one of
the messages, which reply was sent also via e-mail to the response address.
If everyone in this newsgroup would send a personal e-mail, explaining that
such solicitations are in violation of the USENET rules and the newsgroups
charter, they might tire of opening a flood of e-mails only to find no
viable candidates for their jobs.

Over the years, I've tried to politely inform them of the rules and charter
(http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm) before complaining to their ISP
or to "abuse" at their e-mail address (sometimes abuse mail to those e-mails
go to their ISP or web presence provider rather than to the company). If
they do go to the company, at least one of the adminstrators will be aware
that their employed is ticking off.

Thanks for the feedback on this. It looks like I am stuck then. I am
unable to use a newsreader a work due to software policy and the proxy
denying it. I use google groups to read the postings, and there is
nowhere to report a gmail address as a spammer except 'report thread
as spam' option - which I do. I imagine that no-one else is doing the
same so the threads remain and the (ab)user continues.

Could I ask a favour of a few of you - if you find yourselves with a
few minutes to spare have a look through google groups
(comp.databases.ms-access) and click a few of these idiotic threads to
mark them as spam. Perhaps it will have an effect. Direct emailing
seems to be ignored. I dont know if this will work, but it cant hurt
to try.

Cheers
