I never has in the past.  I (and many others) have for years and years
been plonking all posts made through Google Groups.  Trust me, you'll

Just configure your .score file (or bogofilter or spamassassin or
whatever) to throw out all posts that have a Message-ID: header field
that ends in 'googlegroups.com'.  That, grashopper, is the path to
serenity.
