This is wishful thinking.

I agree that it would be best if Usenet was separated from Google Groups, 
but the current reality is that normal, valid users still post from 
Google, at least to pl.* groups.

Maybe they couldn't find a server to use, maybe they didn't want to 
register on mine (but I don't want to monopolize Usenet in pl.*, so it's 
better if users use different services), maybe they prefer the web 
interface over a dedicated reader. I don't know what their reasons are.

I make daily statistics of pl.* and alt.pl.* activity, counting posts from 
different servers and grouping them by From (to count unique users, not 
individual posts) and the picture is clear: most users post using Google 
Groups and my server.

Statistics are here (look for "Serwery"):

They're also available in JSON format:

Of course it also counts spam, but even after removing the spamming Froms, 
the picture is similar.

My priority is to provide a complete feed to my users, not to fight Google 
(at the expense of my users). They probably wouldn't want to use my server 
if I launched an anti-Google campaign at their expense (and I couldn't 
blame them for it). I'll happily remove obvious spam and floods, but I 
don't want to remove valid posters in the process.
