That's funny, I do flag them as spam, but they never seem to go away.
The other spam tends to disappear. Oh, I am still using the older
style interface. I tried the new groups interface and there all the
spam goes away pretty quickly and anything I flag is gone
immediately.
I wonder why Google can't clear out the spam effectively from their
standard interface while they do with the new interface.
