I was thinking about GG permitting spammers to pollute newsgroups.

Maybe it is not such a bad thing.

Here's why: All USENET spammers moved to spam from GG. That makes them

If GG kicked them out, and they were posting from all over the place,
then ignoring them would be a lot more difficult.

Thoughts?

Shhhh!!!!
