The only way we have to stop (subsidising) these is to email the advert back to the originator with a copy to his postmaster. It would also help to write a polite message explaining to these people that it is us (or our institutions) that are paying for these adverts and we do not want to receive them. Also remind them that you will mail back any more adverts. Filling these guys mailboxes up is the only way to leave this newsgroup free of adverts. Pedro Mendes prm@aber.ac.uk .
