The question is, what percentage of news sites are confirming newgroup
with pgpverify? I haven't tracked in a while, but back when I was
using it (1.5 years ago) the answer was few.
My impression is that the percentage has risen pretty dramatically.
I believe that DNEWS does this by default (I'm not sure about Diablo),
and enough sites out there have been hit by excessive bogus newsgroup
creation that many servers get configured for this first thing right
out-of-the box.

Usenet is not the web. Just because the web handles some things
poorly is not a good reason to apply those same solutions to Usenet.
