It all depends on how you access this web site. Nothing much
apparently can be done if you, like I, are using google groups to
access the info.

If you are using usenet. and the files are hosted on your site, then
there are scripts you could run that would clean up/delete a lot of
them.

If you are using nntp, then you would have to convince the site
hosting the nntp to do something.

I know there have been people running scripts which would issue
"delete" transactions for this trash. Then there would be "counter-
terrorists" who issued new trash to fight the delete requests, etc.
