One hopes that the more people complain, the more likely Google
will actually do something about it.

Well, at least they're no less likely to something about it.
comp.lang.java.programming has become almost unusable over the
past week from Google-posted spam, and there's no sign of any
action from them.


Isn't that, in effect, a denial of service attack?

Sure. What's your point?

If it was anybody but the $900 billion gorilla allowing all this
spam
to vector through their service, we'd have seen a Usenet Death
Penalty by now.


Who is in the Usenet Cabal that institutes a UDP?

Anyone who wants to and knows how to issue cancels.
