    Whoever that server admin is, he needs to get a knock at his door.
    Remember, the choice to carry a feed or not is up to each news server
    administrator.
    This applies to all server administrators.
    If one server administrator wants to carry news from a spammy source,
    that's their prerogative just like it's other news administrators
    prerogative if they want to carry news from the previous news administrator.
    I find it entertaining how quickly I've seen things progress along the
    line from "YOU CAN'T FILTER" to "complain to the admin that isn't
    filtering (Google)".
    Yes! ROTFL.
    dizum has an anonymity agenda. Although YMMV, an excerpt of pertinent
    dizum headers tells /me/ everything there is to know about dizum:
    Path: sewer!news.dizum.net!not-for-mail
    Organization: dizum.com - The Internet Problem Provider
    Injection-Info: sewer.dizum.com
    Besides dizum, many other news hosts also peer with google-groups.
    ###
    On another note, a change in my own news host's pseudo peers now
    provides a proper Path: to implement Stephane's suggestion:
    $BADPATHS=google-groups.googlegroups.com
    ME/$BADPATHS:::
    There's one more thing - dizum is a remailer. And, although it offers a >mail2news gateway, it is not a news host.
    Danke,
