No Patrick, I believe something ought to be done to stem such spam. I have previously reported the matter to the Google groups "abuse" address and raised the same issue in this forum. I hope something will finally be done about such forced "local content" ;-) Wainaina On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Patrick,

Unfortunately, this has been going on for a while.

Best thing to do is to visit

http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en

and check the *Do not allow group managers to directly add me to their groups.*

This will prevent your email address from being added directly without your approval.

I think you should be able to unsubscribe for now though.

Good morning,

Should such type of notification be allowed? I assume that I am not the only who didn't subscribe to this mail-list? Or perhaps am missing something....?
