   The soc.genealogy.britain groupon GoogleGroups carries the following   
   notice:   
      
   =====   
    Banned Content Warning   
   The group that you are attempting to view (soc.genealogy.britain) has   
   been identified as containing spam, malware or other malicious   
   content. Content in this group is now limited to view-only mode for

   =====   
      
   It seems to me that the people at Google have evaded the issue. Most   
   of the spammers are those with gmail addresses, and all they wuill do   
   is move to other groups and destroy them. What they need to do is ban   
   the spammers, not ban the group.
