No, they should not. And, in fact, they cannot. "Google Groups" is simply a
web-based interface to Usenet, only one of many ways of getting there. Google
did not create Usenet, Google does not operate Usenet, and Google does not and
cannot control Usenet.

That said... it sure would be helpful if Google would police the interface
they provide. They *are* able to do something about the spam that comes
through their particular portal, but they're not willing to.
