Is there anybody here who thinks that these messages belong to this

Other than that it's vaguely UNIX related, you mean? I don't see those
messages as I've killfiled them long ago. They probably should use
a Distribution: header, but anyway.

Buy the way, is there anything we can do to stop somebody posting
inappropriate messages in a newsgroup? I mean, besides kindly asking
the person to stop doing it, of course.

Asking, asking their provider (with reason), killfiling. I don't mind
you asking them to please find a better way to announce NY local stuff,
as it isn't really appropriate for worldwide distribution.
