However, in the past few days it's gotten so bad at google that
less than 1 in 10, maybe even less than 1 in 20, thread titles
even appear to be real sci.math, and that's including requests
for solutions manuals. I've taken to looking at the titles at
The Math Forum's sci.math web page, and either responding
directly from there or looking for the thread I'm interested
in at google. The Math Forum seems to be down this morning,
though, so I'm not sure if I'll be posting much (anymore?)
today . . .

  Have faith in Google. They will get round to the problem and deal
with it.

Yeah right!

I have reported the abuse about 100 times and not even an ack from
them.

The Borg has gotten too large and doesn't give a $*&^!

They also caused the problem - by allowing spammers to easily
automate the spam postings!

I actually think they like the spam cause they use the number of posts
to charge for directed ads.

Also, there is an entire effort dedicated to banning google groups and
I don't even know how long that has been around.

However, the spammers have found it and it is yet another avenue for
them to post their ridiculous spam.

Die spammers - die!
