I suppose I could point out that if they are filtering posts, they are
probably violating their own contract, which in clause 7 states "You
understand that we are providing you with unfiltered access to Usenet.":

Oh really?!?!? They do in fact filter messages and have admitted
to doing so in their support groups. For example, they have had
a filter on all GoogleNews posts that are crossposted to more
than three groups. "Andrew" in the support newsgroup explained
it all to me when I had complained about not seeing google
messages. They also filter for spam and other abuses of usenet
based on complaints they receive. That is most definately not
"unfiltered access".
