To me it is just as annoying as MAKE MONEY FAST scams.
Although I will presume that all the material in French is valid
discussions regarding Ada, the result for those of us who do not
speak French is exactly the same as if someone had combined the
Ada newsgroup with the Model-Railroading newsgroup. Certainly this
is not the separation-of-content envisioned in the NNTP design.

If the root problem is news sites not passing French Ada through,
then that problem should be addressed. If they have a legitimate
argument that traffic is too low to justify carrying the newsgroup
then a mailing list would be in order.
That is my attitude. I would expect exactly a corresponding
response if I suggested carrying English Ada messages in the
French Ada newsgroup (or the French Model-Railroading group,
for that matter).
