[android-developers] Re: Why is all the spam suddenly appearing?
Course, some of it -is- just spammers. EG olipo...@gmail.com (http:// groups.google.com/groups/search? hl=enq=olipol66%40gmail.comqt_s=Search) Spams everywhere, hasn't been shut down yet.

We all hope that we all are reporting the spam as spam by going to the conversation and clicking on Report discussion as spam or below the message at Report spam.
