Yes the public USENET archive is Google Groups property, but if
they continue to mess up the archive, their net value to USENET
will soon become negative. Like now when I do a search trying to
find an appropriate group to ask a question, I'm getting hundreds
of garbage Google Groups instead of proper USENET groups. Hosting
90% of spammers and trolls is bad enough.

Uhg.

That's nothing. Unlike Deja, Google plays content nanny with the
entire Usenet archive. Hundreds of text-only groups are excluded
(alt.2600.*, etc etc) and all posts in these groups are lost
forever.

Simply tragic and unforgiveable.



That's odd, considering Google hosts bottom feeding scum sucking
child pornographers including hard-core graphically explicit
content. Do a search for terms like "preteen porn" (without the
quotes) and you get almost exclusively Google Groups.
