   I think you vastly overestimate how much anyone at Google cares about Groups.   
   The whole thing has been on autopilot for years, it can't possibly be making   
   them enough money to deal with the hassle.   
      
   FWIW I get plenty of spam directly from Groups when people yet again load   
   up a spam list and blast out mail in languages I cannot read.
