I remember that DejaNews was once good but by the time Google bought
Deja, it truly sucked.  Google actually managed to improve it!
Admittedly nowhere near as good as it had once been, and it certainly
got increasingly worse after that.

I'm not sure whether the current implementation is worse than the
worst it was under Deja.  It is much better in some ways and horribly
worse in others.  Regarding spam, I'm not sure that Deja at its worst
would have done any better than Google in today's environment.
