    Spam originating from Google Groups aren't users of Easynews nor

    thanks for responding . . . e.g. "alt.comp.freeware" hasn't been spammed by "googlegroups.com" since 1 Nov 2023 . . . but has occasionally been spammed with very similar, usually mass-crossposted off-topic ugliness from both of these "identical twin" commercial servers (easynews.com & usenetserver.com); google's obviously the biggest offender, but these littler abusers do seem
    to pick some of the slack, as if in collusion with the orchestral conductor; they usually do hit-and-run surprise attacks, typical message header to wit:
