Even better, they could have found a way to stop the spam so that people 
who wanted to use Google Groups to post, could still have done so.  All 
they really needed to do was introduce some delays - if you create a new 
account, you cannot post to Usenet in the first 24 hours.  And accounts 
used to post to Usenet need to have two-factor authentication enabled. 
That would pretty much end all but the most dedicated of spammers and 
trolls, while still allowing those that used GG to post by necessity.
