And AFAICT you're wrong. I read and post to c.l.py using my newsreader
(so NOT going thru GG), and my personal address is @gmail.com.

Posting from office now.

Just thought of this last night: If you view the full header you can see
this:

Complaints-To: groups-abuse(a)google.com

Try blocking posts with that in the header. :)

Good luck!

not all those who wander are lost;

deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
renenwed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king."
