 HOWTO: REPORTING ABUSE ON THE NET

Groups for
posting bad messages that are obscene, vulgar, discriminatory, or
racistic etc.
These postings are clearly violating the laws and the use policy of
Google at:
 http://groups.google.com/intl/en/googlegroups/terms_of_service.html
  (See #6 there)

 If you see such bad messages then you should report it
 to Google by doing one of the following methods:
