Google feedproxy redirector abuse

I've been seeing pill spam with lots of identical URIs pointing at 
feedproxy.google.com over the last week or two. All the URI's seem to be 
this (leading http slash slash removed):

feedproxy.google.com/~r/CraigslistHoustonAllForSale/WantedSearchquothealthquot/~3/3yX2enlGlyE/

I've no idea where to report this. Going to the root of Google's site 
reveals no abuse report links.

Dammit. I should have sent that to you offlist. :(

Got one with exactly 5 today. Looks like they're learning.

Can't help with reporting it to goog, but this has been in my sandbox for 
a bit. It might help:

   rawbody        __FEEDPROXY         m;http://feedproxy\.google\.com/;
   tflags         __FEEDPROXY         multiple
   meta           MANY_GOOG_PROXY     __FEEDPROXY > 5
   describe       MANY_GOOG_PROXY     Many Google feedproxy URIs

It has to be a rawbody rule because uri rules collapse multiple hits on 
the same URI.
