Google doesn't seem aware of this. "Please be aware that, while we
understand how annoying off-topic posts can be, Google doesn't regularly
monitor or censor postings sent to Google Groups. However, we do try to
prevent wide-scale spam and other forms of Usenet abuse, most notably
involving numerous repeat offenses or the posting of someone's personal
information (such as credit card or social security numbers)."

Does something in here qualify?

Have you ever seen the bot reply Google sends to complaints? It basically
says, "so learn to filter; it's not our responsibility".
