Would caring solve the problem of millions of random PCs
making automated posts to unmoderated groups?

I would settle for the same type of statistical spam filters
they use with gmail, which hides most of the stuff from
view, even if it does nothing about the actual problem.


IMHO. YMMV.

Solve? No.
Reduce to a significant degree? Quite likely.
Especially since mose of the recent spam storm is coming
directly from their GoogleGroups and/or from posters
using gmail accounts.

You should both note that many of us have already
started blocking any posts from GoogleGroups, and
the rest of us are *that close*.
