You are welcome to your own opinions. Many people find the large
quantities of spamvertisements posted from googlegroups.com objectionable,
and the absolute refusal of google to control that abuse as grounds for
filtering all posts from that source - spam or not.

The "shark" may be gone, but "The Usenet Improvement Project" is still
reachable at http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/index.html.
Some people apply a very simple rule to their news reading or spooling
tool (syntax may vary - see your documentation):

[*]
Score:: =-9999
Message-ID: googlegroups.com

Just because your news reader can't do that doesn't mean others can't
as well. Additionally, some news _providers_ filter all posts from
google. That is the reason I've set my news reader to automatically
include that "NOTE:" whenever I reply to a post from googlegroups.com.

The statistics you supply are interesting, but don't help me estimate
whether the average number of NAT layers as supplied on internet connections
by ISPs higher in China than in the UK. Having thought some more, it does
seem less likely as there are only so many people you can have behind a
single public IP address [depending on their propensity to open connections,
and keep them open].

How many is "plenty" exactly, and what percentage of total users?

>It reduces traffic by about two thirds, mostly spam.

Suit yourself. Way too many false positives for my taste.

How "many" exactly, and what percentage of total users?

Who knows or cares - it's quite obviously non-zero. Do you have figures
for total readership of all newsgroups? Of the few who bothered to
respond to your post here, it looks as if your "Nonsense" response is
Nonsense - and yes, I also filter posts from googlegroups.com in several
of the Usenet groups I try to scan daily.
