It's comp.unix.programmer: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.programmer/topics and comp.programming.threads: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/topics They look just as spammy! There're web sites that archive Usenet postings, filtering out spam messages probably manually. But since non-spammers are tired of spams, they simply quit and use web forums instead, or the old mailing lists, whatever is managed by a human. Whoever invented Usenet probably never have thought of it.
