    There is no group named comp.lang.c%2B% 2B.
    * The link you followed may be broken or misspelled.

      Yes, report to them. It's some kind of bug in that link
      I guess.

          Why? They won't care. I've been reporting the same spam for days
          and it continues uninterrupted. Then again, your request has nothing
          to do with removing someone who purchased a Google Ad, so maybe they
          will be less ambivalent about your request.

              Google has very little control on what is posted on the Usenet. You
              report spam to the USENET server that the spammer is using (only that
              server's admin -- if he wants to-- can block him).

                  You use Firefox, and just upgraded, automatically, too:-).

                  Apparently, the latest version of Firefox is converting the +'s
                  in a link into their % HEX HEX encoding. This is actually
                  required, according to RFC2616 (since + is a reserved
                  character); it is frequent, however, to not do so, and earlier
                  versions of Firefox didn't. Within a URL, of course, the server
                  is required (again by RFC2616) to interpret the escaped ASCII as
                  the literal character, i.e. %2B means a + in the URL, even if
                  the context would otherwise interpret a + as some sort of
                  separator. So Google's server is broken as well. (At least,
                  this is what I think happened. The problem appeared for me
                  immediately after the last update of Firefox. It's possible,
                  however, that Google modified something and broke there server
                  at the same moment Firefox upgraded. Generally speaking,
                  however, Google's servers have always been severely broken,
                  sending all sorts of gibberish in lieu of correct HTML, and I
                  suspect that they never handled %2B correctly.)

                  In the meantime, once you get the error message, just go to the
                  URL line in the navigation toolbar, and edit the %2B to +.
                  Firefox, at least, doesn't change the +'s for a URL entered
                  there.

                      If the spam is being posted through Google, they can very
                      definitely block it. (I've heard that this is the case, but
                      I've never bothered to even open one of the spams, to look at
                      the headers, to see if this was the case.)

                          Almost all spam on usenet is vectored through GG these days. They don't
                          care. Their failure to address the problem has led to an escalation of
                          the problem. Where before mostly recreational groups were being hit,
                          that's now transfered to technical ones as well.

                          Google may well kill usenet before it's done with its evil.

                                  Funny you should mention it. I downloaded XNews yesterday.
