Yes... use a filter that blocks message ID containing <@groups.google.com>

Thanks Blueshift!
This group has (or had in past days) many participants who used Google Groups. If you blunt-force filter out Google people you might find you
have also eliminated some names you expect to see. If so, you will need
to "whitelist" the good guys that you know.

I call it collateral damage... but yes, in theory you should
whitelist the good guys that post from G2... although in my
experience they are few and far between. (It does depend on the
newsgroup though.)

This newsgroup has many Googlers. For example, in the past month, about
67 out of 95 posts come from Googlers, and they represent about 12 of
the most prolific posters.
