I have not checked that out, but am very pleased to hear it.
Have a look..

Just goes to show you, there are things that can be done about rogue
groups. I'm sure that there are others servers that would do the same if
they were made aware that the PostgreSQL groups were bogus.
Have you looked at the control messages for those groups? Most of them were
sent by a forger of tale..that *is* net abuse. Sending control messages for
rogue groups may not be considered net abuse if the creator does it in his
own name, but to forge the name and address of the hierarchy manager is
serious abuse to me.

Agreed, though I felt that it needed to be mentioned in the RFD.
At
this point a bogus group that has substantial traffic should be
regularized, and a bogus group that has very little traffic should be
ignored (non-archived, non-peered).What if essentially none of that traffic originates from a newsreader? I
could take any popular (or not-so-popular) mailing list and gate all of the
e-mailed messages from list subscribers to a newsgroup of my choice. That
would not be an indicator of Usenet popularity for the given topic. Having
looked at the traffic in *.general and the other proposed groups,
practically *all* of the traffic was e-mailed by list subscribers. The only
substantial traffic originating from Usenet since the RFD started has come
from news.groups regulars.
Seems most people on the group had no idea that their posts were going
anywhere but google. Every inbound post appears as an email to the
list. Who'd know?
BTW, we'll be dropping the groups shortly. No sense pushing water up
hill.
