It may be entirely unrealistic, but when ISP's started with some decent bayesian filters, maybe 10 years ago (?), things for email accounts became much, much better. My sliver of hope it that somehow it will magically happen on browser based newsreaders. Or maybe some young lizard with no morals will decide to DoS spammers.

Akshally, I login to google with a non-gmail email, but I still have a gmail account attached to it. I think it's just a matter of time until spammers figure out you can do that, if they think gmail filtering is limiting their reach. But if they are using gmail to spam groups, they probably won't think that anyways, since google groups filtering is too stupid for words.

And yet somehow, when people do post on topic, there is still some discussion. So post early and post often, Noons.
