Any hacker can write a bot that posts spam on net. So they invented CAPTCHA. Agreed, there's spam on newsgroups, too. I guess the largest reason why these newsgroups have avoided all that is because Walter has his private nntp server and nntp isn't widely used anymore.
We get spammed now and then, but it hasn't been unmanageable. One reason I stopped trying to get google to pick up the n.g. is because doing so would, I suspect, make us a spam magnet.
