Google doesn't give two hoots about spam in Usenet. This is evident
from the fact that most spam in Usenet is posted using Google
accounts. Feel free to complain if you like. Fat lot of good it
will do, but it may make you feel better.
Google is a corporation and has all the malevolence that attends to that
appellation. That said, there kaptcha screen got hacked a while back, so
they might have problems with spammers having as many of their identities
as you can make with a computer, which would be a number exceeding the 4 or
so I have.
Better strategy - killfile all postings emanating from Google Groups
accounts. This is reasonably easy. It is true that you might
accidentally killfile a few sensible people that way, but the
probability is pretty low - and anyway, you can always mod them up
individually (as I do).
I'm in and out of clc, but this time around my killfilter has:
[*]
-10 Message-ID googlegroups
!delete Xref "0-day" "advocacy" "binaries" "conspiracy" "flame" "flonk"
"hacker" "kook" "ozdebate" "troll" "warez"
!delete Xpost %>3
[comp.lang.c]
!delete From {gmail|hotmail}

If you put the two Bushs together in their over seven years of their two
presidencies, not one new job has been created. Numbers do not lie. If you
extrapolated from that, if the Bushs had run this country from its very
beginning to the current time, not one American would have ever worked.
We'd be hunter-gatherers.
