 I've been reporting all the spam to the originating ISPs (I'm the 
 original sponsor). 
  
 There is an average of about 1-2 junk postings every day. 
  
 The origin of the spam changes every week, varying from: 
  
 - ozemail.com.au 
 - shaw.ca 
 - google.com 
 - rogers.com 
 - rr.com 
  
 Given that it keeps changing, it's possible that I'm having an impact.
