Been there done that. Many times. The garbage continues.
The MI5 spammers and cigarette vendors have been tra****ng other Google
groups as well. I have poked around, and Google's position evidently
is that these are coming from Usenet groups that they don't control
and they don't want to censor. There is speculation that Google wants
to cause the old Usenet groups to die off in favor of Google hosted
Google groups.
