Good point. I also changed the settings so people have to request an
invitation to join.

How does the invitation system work with Google Groups?  Could that potentially turn off anyone that might stumble upon the group and want to easily join?

The "anyone can join" setting was allowing any spammer to join the
group. I am now using the "People can request an invitation to join"
setting... not 100% sure how it works, but I suppose people can easily
just ask and I'll let them join.
