Who keeps dumping these random-text posts into the NG? And is there
anything that can be done about it?

Dunno. Some mental midget is trying a flood attack. Which tactic has been
*so* effective before that we're still here.
And what can be done in this current batch is send copies--with full
headers--to:
abuse@rcn.net
The machine being used is likely cracked and being used without the
owner's permission which is a criminal act. RCN can at least close the
hole if not file a criminal complaint.

They can track the actual computer from which the child is sending
them, and then know who's account is being used.

Right. But the poster may not be at that location. Still, that could be
