Have a look..

Just goes to show you, there are things that can be done about rogue 
groups. I'm sure that there are others servers that would do the same if 
they were made aware that the PostgreSQL groups were bogus. 

Have you looked at the control messages for those groups? Most of them were 
sent by a forger of tale..that *is* net abuse. Sending control messages for 
rogue groups may not be considered net abuse if the creator does it in his 
own name, but to forge the name and address of the hierarchy manager is 
serious abuse to me.

Yes, they appear to be more responsive and reactive to complaints. They 
have even reinstated the posting host IP in their outgoing news articles, 
added reference headers, and now allow the poster to set a follow-up group 
on crossposted articles. Applause!
