I plonked everything coming from Google Groups years ago. I never
regretted it for a second, and can recommend doing so without
reservation.  All you have to do is toss anything with a Message-ID
ending in googlegroups.com. For the benefit of anybody using slrn to
read the Usenet group (or presumably reading the mailing list via
gmane), here's the .score file rule:

[*]
Score:: =-9999
 Message-ID: .*googlegroups.com
