    by now, everyone realizes that udp or depeering of Google Groups is
    simply not going to happen; so the only solution is for unmoderated
    newsgroup subscribers to continue filtering out "googlegroups.com"
    message-id and reference headers from their favorite news readers;
    discussions among news server administrators in news.admin.peering, news.admin.net-abuse.usenet, news.software.nntp, and other related
    forums suggest that mercantile/commercial interests support Google

    I don't think Google cares about Usenet at all.

    Google have usurped the Usenet Newsgroup name-space by permitting
    their proprietary Google Groups to be named as if they're real Usenet, regardless of potential name clashes. Their own faux groups are the
    only thing that they care about.

    they knew google groups was a backscatter design, for years they didnt
    care, maybe still dont, I reject anything that is from google groups so
    wouldnt surprise me if its not fixed.

    They know that if you put multi periods in email addresses they ignore it
    still

    Sundar.R.Pichai@gmail.com is exactly the same as SundarR.Pichai@gmail.com
    They know but to quote a google engineer ...
    "Yeah we know, but it's been borked for so long now we're not fixing it
    for any forseeable future"

    google has no care factor.

    100% agree. Google got the archive they wanted from deja, then ran for
    a while to build a user base. Now they have no reason to care about
    Usenet, their users have all they want right there. They most likely
    would not notice if Google were disconnected from the rest of Usenet.
