I have switched to www.i2pn2.org for comp.lang.fortran using the Agent
v8.0 newsreader. Seems to be working ok for now.

I wish google groups would delete all the obvious spam in the Thai
language as well as making the group read only.

Same as comp.lang.c as has been mentioned elsewhere (<[email protected]> for example). Good. I wonder how that works. Was some algorithm at googlegroups triggered and automatically took the measure (or notified a human) or do they have some employee at Google regularly take a few minutes of their time once per
several weeks to have a short look at googlegroups to see how things are working ? I will guess the latter because an algorithm would have acted much sooner.

Bad actors ruining legitimate experience because of a half-assed
solution, a tale as old as time.

The depeering of Google Groups will be the ultimate act of mercy!

Looking at some of the GSpam, I just noticed that GG helpfully adds a
header indicating the spammer's IP, perhaps someone with copies of the
GSpam from recent weeks can see if there is a pattern that can be used
for filtering more specific than just blocking GG.

Enjoy
