From a practical standpoint, News/NNTP spamming is less of a problem
than it was in the mid-late 90's.  The IETF is far less interested in
fiddling around with a protocol that is mature and declining in
relative importance.

Netnews might be part of the solution to email spam. Netnews is quite
efficient at one-to-many communication and does not suffer from spam as
much as email does.

If mailing lists (and newsletters) can be moved to Netnews (or a similar  
scheme), we can make sending a large amount of messages more expensive  
without harming legitimate mailing lists.
