Lots of spam showing up: noticed our messages here going to public google group, which can be searched

Hi folks,

Is out stuff being sent occasionally to a google group as well, a
quick search of my email address finds stuff like:

Thought this was private. Anyway of turning this off or has it been?
Can we clear out that stuff or something?

Thanks

Right now, vhs-general is our public mailing list, and vhs-members is
our private members-only mailing list. I remember there being a lot
of debate about using Google Groups, and people were OK at the time
with having our posts archived on the Google Group. Perhaps we should
revisit this.

I think you can reply in the google group as well.

I have not seen any spam in the list.  Perhaps my gmail is filtering it out for me.
