Some of it is even off topic.

Every time you see a spam posting kill the cutest, happiest, most tail 
waggiest puppy you can find.  Eventually the spam will stop.

Failing that, get a clue and a filter.

Do you know of a way to filter out the spam when reading this list on
Google Groups?

I don't think a filter works in google. Actually I'm surprised that
Google with all their advanced technology can't set a filter
themselves. They have been warned before that there are a lot of
spammers on this newsgroup and others.

The most practical way to filter a google group is to filter one of the 
xml feeds e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/feeds.
