This could help, indeed

Google has been able to make profit (a lot of it) where no one else saw it.
I could imagine that Google would keep an active interest in Usenet if 
generalist newsgroups were active and populous.
But I think (without having actually verified any of it) that the only 
groups with some level of activity are those similar to this one (and 
not very numerous as for amount of posters either), with an audience 
that is both limited and not much valuable market-wise (kinda geeks with 
a taste for old-fashioned Internet do not qualify as the best consumers, 
I would guess)
