I've reported yet another to Comcast. More spambots keep popping up
like zombies. Though to be fair, it seems that it is Google's
responsibility to be a good netizen and rectify the abuse that they're
abetting ("they" not "it"; Google is a corporation of employees who
are people).

Yet Google does not enforce its own TOS despite numerous warnings. Why
is that?

Nor does Google seem to have any public group for Google Groups. Not
this fraud by more spammers:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-groups-help-?lnk=

The USENET Death Penalty for Google Groups would eliminate the bulk of
spam but would come at a cost of greater obscurity.

It really comes down to this: Does Google Groups cause more harm than
good?

And if the answer is yes, then UDP makes sense.

Might be appropriate for com.googlegroups.is-something-broken
