Well, you are right, but it is easier said than done.
I presume you have already read the Wiki newsgroup page and is well aware
about the difference of Borland news server and Usenet.
<http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Delphi_Newsgroups>
The problem is that for Borland it is not really possible to control what
is done on Usenet, that is one of the reason why they want to run their own
newsserver.
From time to time Borland have renamed newsgroups. E.g. b.p.d.objectpascal
was September 2002 changed into b.p.d.language.delphi..., but many news
servers just keep on running both the old and the new groups. Even if some
news server stop using it, others servers will replicate it around, making
it appear that the group still exist.
In short it does no seem possible for Borland to force all news servers to
stop running a certain group.
If Google Groups, would only run official Borland newsgroups and actively
pass on messages onto the Borland news server we would come a long way,
because Google Groups are often used by new users that have no idea how
Usenet and news server work. They have no chance of knowing that there is a
difference between Usenet and Borland news server.
To alleviate the problem this is why we, Delphi Wiki users, decided to
start telling people directly about the problem, so each person can learn
about the problem and how to solve it.
If you want further discussion about your question, I suggest you repost it
in b.p.d.non-technical.
