Get a real news reader instead of Google groups and they will disappear automagically

Many of us use news.eternal-September.org with outlook or thunderbird, little or no spam makes it in.

Spam is a reality of life. IF you view this group through a good news reader and set up filters the spam is a non issue. If you view through google groups you're going to be inundated with garbage. My preference for a news reader is eternal-september. There are others that are just as good. You have to remember that google is not usenet/ It only archives groups. Make the switch and see the difference. eternal-september is free.

With all due respect, it looks like "eternal september" requires yet another program atop its platform. I'll pass.

That page has reviews of newsgroup servers, not groups.
