Is there not some way that the group can stop this spammer from depositing
their MI5 junk on our Newsgroup?

File an abuse complaint (abuse @ taranews.com IIRC, look at the
message headers to check) and / or kill file the sender.

In a word, No.

You could complain to his ISP and get his account cancelled, but then he
can just start up another one with another ISP.

Put him in your killfile (aka bozo bin).

Is that happening again?  I just have an "Ignore thread" filter in
place, so I don't see it.  Simple.

What spammer?  Must already be in my killfile!

It's been crossposted to every group. I used "block sender" a long time ago
so don't see it except when someone replies. There's a similar message
concerning wombats.

No. Use your newsreader's filter tool to block them from showing up on
your header list.
