They were? You can, of course, provide a valid message ID where my specific
questions were specifically answered. Post that message ID in the white space
below, so that everybody can look it up and read the article that verifies your
claim:

What does that mean? If you are suggesting that readers globally "kill file"
all Google Groups messages, that is no practical solution at all. Readers in
Google Groups don't have that capability, for one, and a significant number of
Google Groups posters are legitimate contributors, not commerical spammers, or
even spammers at all. Granted, some of them may be idiots, but every newsgroup
server that allows posting gets its fair share of idiots posting through it.

But how do they post through Google Groups? Can you cite a web site page
that specifically describes how Google Groups posters use "botnets" or "zombie
networks" to successfully post through the Google Groups network? If so,
please post the technical description page's URL in the white space below:
