And here I was, thinking that Google Groups were the "new" way of
browsing Usenet.

Agree, it seems to be the nntp server, and how they run filters on

recently (last few months) it has seemed pretty clean.
I use nntp.aioe.org, a free server.

Use a newsreader and a good NNTP server. I had to look on Google groups
to see what you were talking about.
