Get a real news reader instead of Google groups and they will disappear automagically Many of us use 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.

Yup.
That page has reviews of newsgroup servers, not groups.
