Apologies for top-posting
 
I've crossposted this to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet

These posts are just a constant stream of automated abuse appended
to nearly  every post on the group.  I thought responsible servers
would have put a stop to this sort of nonsense.

 
 

 
Is it just my mistaken impression, or has the amount of legitimate
traffic also dropped away since GG stopped contributing to the flood
of spam?

Absolutely it has.  One particular group averaged over 200 legit posts per
day excluding spam and troll posts equaling 70-150+ daily.

Since the end of GG it is lucky to have 30 - 60 legit posts per day.
