I am starting this thread to document complaints to Google to resolve the tsunami of Usenet spam originating with their servers. The spam flood attack has persisted for a very long time.

Since 8/31 the last 10000 messages I polled from Usenet group 'sci.crypt' are mostly automated spam originating with google path headers.

Only 44 messages were found that are not spam. This means that roughly 99.56% of all messages in the group are spam originating with google servers.

I suggest others file abuse complaints with Google, then post copies of those complaints as follow-ups to this thread in news.admin.peering. This way we can document efforts to request Google cease enabling the spam abuse.
