Is anyone besides myself receiving periodic spam from theepochtimes.com? I'm trying to figure out if this is a group spam problem or a personal spam problem.

There was a period when I also received similar unsolicited letters from a different address. Ever since I started using MailWasher and set up spam addresses, I haven't had a case like this.

I have recently been getting a lot of Epoch Times (a political slant I loathe) ads in my web browser, but not by email. I suspect ET is just running a major advertising blitz in the run-up to the election that is unrelated to this group.

I received an unsolicited copy of Epoch Times (a.k.a. Trump's Times) in the snail mail about a month ago. It was very useful as a wastebasket liner.

My experience with a few other groups.io indicated certain groups were associated with (IMHO, my ID of them) 'spammers'.? Somehow subscribing got me on the list.? Unsubscribing stopped them,? I don't know how this happens.? Found this when I unsubscribed from my surplus groups.io groups.
Hope this group has 'acceptable' spam.? Kind of like to keep it.

I don’t know but it seems as though I’m now receiving spam from nanovna-users that want to talk about spam, and IS NOT related to the Nano VNA. How about we take this conversation somewhere else, DrudgeReport, or Mother Earth News, whatever floats your boat, but NOT HERE!!

I (I live in Romania, EU) have not received spam messages.
Most likely, it is a geographically targeted advertisement.

Ok, I was apparently not clear in my earlier email, so I am going to rephrase the question: Is anybody besides me receiving email from theepochtimes.com as posts to the nanovna-users group (e.g., received as sent to the [email protected] email address and not solely to one's personal email address). I am not chasing email received on your personal account, only postings to the group. As to those who objected to my earlier enquiry, the purpose of the enquiry was, and is, to try and understand whether or not there is a threat to the group. I take dealing with threats to the group very seriously. Occasionally this means that some of the group's bandwidth must be used to poll the group in order for me to understand what the group members are seeing. If you don't like that, feel free to use the delete facility on your computer and absolutely feel free to leave the group, but *do not complain* when I create a post that has to do with the security and/or viability of the group. Doing so will get you moderated or banned. 'Nuff said, I think. We don't need to spend any time with discussion between members about The Epoch Times on the group. I just want to know if The Epoch Times is intruding into the group and, if so, to what extent and what, if any, action needs to be taken by the co-owners to deal with that. In point of fact, had I asked the correct question in the first place and received useful answers, I had planned to freeze the thread anyway. Thank you. DaveD

If you got one of those what happens when you click on the "View/Reply Online" ?
I don't see any such messages in the group message history.

I am not sure that political comments are germane to the use of the nanovna.
Last checked the measurements did not sem to care which party you belonged
to.
So maybe back on topic?

If we still have a NARRATOR out there I'd suggest he 'nip these idiots' NOW before we loose our REAL nanovna group.
