flag to those who think they can sell their crap if it gets plastered all
over usenet on groups that are widely read.
I had to log on and navigate to a specific post before I could report
abuse. The link that allowed me to enter info about the abuse was:
http://groups.google.com/groups/abuse?group=sci.electronics.basics&type=message&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fgroup%2Fsci.electronics.basics%2Fmsg%2F43e0f6da5016a7f8&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fsci.electronics.basics%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F37feafe852087246%2F43e0f6da5016a7f8%3F
Maybe if enough people click on that and flood their abuse center then some
action might be taken. That action might be to just shut down their abuse
center.
Even their usenet group
http://groups.google.com/group/google.public.support.general/topics is full
of crap. They really don't care.
Good luck,

Here's a direct link you can click on and send:
http://groups.google.com/groups/abuse
You just enter the group name, message ID, and some information.
Somebody should be able to make an anti-spam-bot that reads the posts,
determines that they are spam, and automagically fill in and send this form
for every bit of abuse that has been posted. Maybe that will get their
attention.
