To whom did you report it, so that we may also report it there?

Reports made to Google Groups are a complete waste of time.
Google will only cancel *that* account (without blocking the IP
address).
It takes the spammer 30 seconds to enable *another* account.
That is, ZERO real effect.
It should also be noted that each time this is done
plonk files could grow by one item.

For Blogspot/Googlepages spam, report those to
mailto:ad***********@google.com adsense-abuse@ google.com
That puts his site into Google Hell (screws up his GoogleRank).

The most effective effort you can make
is to do a reverse-DNS on the NNTP-Posting-Host
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/wh...5.235&email=on
and report abusers to their providers.
This assumes their ISPs aren't complete rogues.

Google does not accept spam complaints. Go ahead, try it. That's why
they've been the #1 Usenet spamming tool for years now. What you're
seeing is the spam slowly expanding into the software development
groups. uk.railway is probably a random group added to confuse spam
filters. Some groups, like rec.photo.digital, have been getting
hundreds of Google spams a day for about a year.

Ask your news service for a Google UDP (Usenet Death Penalty) or
configure your reader to drop everything with "googlegroups.com" in the
Message-ID.

Some real users do use GG.

This is true, however there are acceptable losses.

Everybody is free to look at it that way.
