This is the response I got from groups-abuse@xxxxxxxxxx

Don't get too excited. That's an auto-responder message, you get
that from any complaint.

But the alarming thing is "we aren't able...". Of course they are
able, they can remove their access. The only excuse to not do so
is if inadequate or erroneous information has been submitted. This
attitude goes along with their refusal to fix their broken usenet
interface. So, in my mind at least, google has dropped a long way
from 'good guy' status.
