You do know that blogspot.com is owned by Google, don't you?

No I didn't. That's not good news. If it's not possible to flag abuse to
them without them taking three days to decide to bounce the mail as if the
destinations didn't exist in the first place, it suggests that Google
actively protect the right of people to use Google Groups and other Google-
operated services to spam Usenet.

Maybe that's what they want, to turn it into a market place, to drive out
anyone who isn't interested in operating that way, by deliberately
encouraging people to beleive that Usenet is under their control, to use in
ways that ultimately can be harnessed to make money for whoever (Google in
this case) manages to exert the most influence on what goes on.

Until now I didn't think that Google could be so solidly blamed for the way
things are going. I am now convinced that they are. If they don't do
something to respect those who were on Usenet before them, they will
quickly convince others of this too, and that will undermine Google. Usenet
is still very big.
