Is there a way we can make new posts pop such as the subject line in caps to make it pop against all the spam that's found it's way into this group?

I seldom see spam in this group. My newsservers filter it out. If you're using google groups, they don't filter.
This Sapm is horrible , one way to reduce it is to complain to google groups , there is a special place to do it , if more people will actually do it, they will help , mirjam
I did see the free Google reader and signed up. Thanks for the input. I didn't know what it was as I am fairly new to the computer world taking baby steps from the mail station, webtv and now the computer. Patience is required for some of us. :-)
I don't recall ever seeing spam here either.

sniff, sniff...here I am thinking I was all that signing up for the Reader (Google) and what did I see when I used it...the same spam, spam, spam. Since some of us do see it and others don't I will just be quiet about the whole thing. But for those lucky ones I will just say there's a good 10 to 12 pieces of spam each day to purchase things on E-bay.
.what you need is both a server and a news reader. I happen to use Mozilla Thunderbird as my server, and news.eternal september.org as my reader. Both are free, and seem to work well, filtering out the spam. Perhaps one of our more computer-savvy posters can give you step-by-step directions for how to get there.

You need a newsserver where you can read posts on your mail program. There's several free ones, aioe.org and eternal-september.org. Go to the websites and see how to configure the reader to use them.
That's what I use, mostly eternal-september with nntp.aioe.org as a back up. They filter out the junk on most of my groups. Some of the groups just get an inordinate amount of spam that the filters are slow to catch, but for most groups nearly all of it is filtered out.
I will take my time and look at all the input you gave me. Thank you!
Another way would be to post more of `our` posts , mirjam
I have now written some posts and it pushes those `other` posts out and away , please join me in doing so mirjam
