I view this group - and occasionally some other, like SED - mainly
via google groups; when I post I use a news thingie, Thunderbird.
I think I saw the newsserver (eternal September) not working
once or twice last few years, may be last 10 years - but I am
not a hugely frequent poster.

Not so sure what spam via google groups the talk is about, looking
at CAE every day it takes months between the odd spam posts.
Of course the text reformatting is somewhat unpredictable if one
posts without recent experience with their web interface.

Google Groups introduced a new interface "with a fresh new look" a week ago.  Simultaneously, major newsgroups like this one, and comp.lang.python, were locked out of Google Groups.  I saw the message you posted here in multiple places.

I was starting to think about how I could find an alternate news server, but I decided to check Google Groups one more time.  As of today, it is working again.  I hope it stays that way.

I still use the classic interface.  I have no idea why they feel a need to change thing that appear to work fine without having a clear idea of what they want to "fix".  I can't see anything better about it and the organization seems to make some things less useful.
