I just thought that people here might know something about it, especially if 
it had been brought up before, related to either this or any other group. 
Like it or not, Google has had a profound effect on the shape of usenet, 
ever since it took over the largest public archive and became the highest 
traffic web interface. I would have thought that the censoring of any 
legitimate Big-8 newsgroup by them would be of interest to people here...
