       A waste of breath and electrons.
       Use the web to find a physical address for your local Google affiliate. E.G. 
google.co.uk tells me that the "google London office" is at "United Kingdom Sales Office / 
18 Soho Square / London W1D 3QL / United Kingdom / phone: 0-207-025-8010 / fax: 
0-207-681-1995" (on page http://www.google.co.uk/press/pressrel/ukoffice.html).

       Now, Google don't (yet) care about their user's abuse of USENET because it doesn't 
affect Google's normal operations. Their abuse mail autoresponder can handle a lot of mail. 
But, their physical office on the other hand is used to getting physical mail containing 
things like bills for toilet paper and rent demands. They have to look at these letters. And 
they have to find these important letters in the mountain of spam that they get through the 
door. This costs them money.
       
       So, print out the offending spam (costs you a couple of pennies), hand-write on it why 
it is an offense against nettiquette, stick it in a re-used physical spammer's envelope (costs 
you nothing), put a far-too-low physical stamp onto it (costs you pennies again - or a penny), 
address the envelope to Google's physical address, and drop it in the post.
       It will arrive at Google's physical address, with a demand for payment. If it get's 
immediately thrown in the bin, the Post Office will still be demanding payment (they deliver 
under-paid mail in the UK, but demand extra payment, and most companies *have* to pay because 
it *could* be important genuine mail that has lost a stamp in the post. It happens.). A human 
will almost certainly have to look at it (costing Google around a pound if they spend more 
than a few seconds looking at it). It will clog up their business. It will raise their costs. 
It will hurt their bottom line. And eventually Google's bean counters will tell Google's 
programmers to do something about the damned nuisance.
       
       It's going to take a time. But I can tell you that dropping one of these spams into the 
post box every week makes the heart feel much better than you'd expect for spending 5 pennies.

       Google's advertising and sales divisions are responsible for the (in-)actions of 
Google's Groups programmers. Make *them* pay.
