As I mentioned on the Ada Forum [1] yesterday:

  -------
  Note that recently Google Groups started announcing that on 15
  February 2024 they will stop supporting Usenet newsgroups, ie
  posting from Google Groups will no longer be possible, nor reading
  new postings from Usenet, only searching "old" content will remain
  available.

  While this might look negative at first sight, it will most probably
  reduce the amount of spam in newsgroups tremendously, as the bulk
  is currently posted via Google Groups.
  -------

So with some luck, the spam influx should be reduced to a trickle in
a few months.

Dirk
