Thank God! I hope this FINALLY pushes the few legitimate Google users to
move to a proper Usenet service.

Probably not by leaps and bounds since so many backbone sites were already
dropping posts from Google. But I think it'll make a definite improvement.
And it will force the few legitimate posters on Google to get a proper
newsfeed which is going to make a big difference in their experience too.
