   dump gmail and they'll use something else. Using google groups is not   
   dependent on using gmail.   
   Any unmoderated public forum, on nntp or otherwise is open to misuse.   
   For some of us, who use a responsible news server (such as NIN) the   
   spam is kept to a minimum.   
   Its not down to gmail, but people who abuse the system and have no   
   respect for others. If I could think of a way to combat that I'd   
   support it.
