   Yeah, Google’s searching filters were never really any good in these groups   
   anyways, no loss there.   
      
   Nor did it have any means to block spammers, auto-spamming, nor assign a group   
   moderator / admin.  It’s really a wonder that Google even thought they could   
   manage a *real* network.
