I fired up my newsreader last week, and I discovered that spammers are still spamming usenet.

Depends on the group. Yes, several of them get a lot of spam. But it's easy enough to setup a kill file and filter out a lot of it.

I have newsreading down to a science. I have a core group of about 20 groups I subscribe to, and can usually blitz through the headers in seconds to see if there's anything I want. I check about once a week or so. Then I use NZBin to pull it all down.
