This is a very narrow view of things - you are not forced to accept
any and all news groups that exist; that is what the backbones are 
there for.  Ask you feeds not to transmit the binary groups and
your 'gripe' is mute. Any other group you don't like can receive a
similar fate.

Some things take a long time to sink in...
