At the time I made that choice there was a significant problem with
spam being sent using GG posts.  I'm told that the list server
attempted to filter out those posts, but those of us who read this via
Usenet got the full broadside of ads and scams.  Based on the S/N
ratio of non-spam GG posts, the choice was pretty obvious.
