See the note above. The original poster is using eternal-september.org
and I believe they filter all posts from google.

Google expends absolutely zero effort with Usenet newsgroups, which
is why a number of people filter any posts from google. See the
website 'http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/index.html'.
There are a number of free and low-cost alternatives to google that
are not as universally ignored.

That list of 'Big Eight Newsgroups' describes 2269 newsgroups in
the Big Eight (comp.*, humanities.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*,
soc.*, and talk.*) groups. Only 281 are listed as "Moderated". Many
news servers carry additional (bogus) groups in those hierarchies,
for example the server I'm using (giganews) has 4720 groups in
those hierarchies, but generally the extras are not moderated.
The _other_ groups, and alternative hierarchies are likely a similar
ratio. The 'linux.*' hierarchy has 110 groups listed in it's
hierarchy and 103 are moderated (nearly all are mirrors of existing
mailing lists).

ES does not filter articles posted via google. http://www.usenet4all.se/ used to, although it looks like they
no longer do.

However, many users do filter all articles from google.

Not that I've noticed -- I also use eternal-september.org, and I see
lots of posts from GG (and I don't see the huge volume of GG spam others
report, so they must be doing *some* sort of filtering).

Hear, hear.

I don't think so (if they haven't recently started doing that). However,
many eternal-september _users_ (myself included) filter Google groups
posts.

They do filter on spam. However genuine posts tend to get trough. With
some kind of measure for 'genuine', that is.
