The spam problem is easily understood.

Introduction of any new technology should be justified in the context 
of existing technologies. In this case one technology is email.  
Another is Usenet news.  Individual Usenet servers can exclude spam.  
Nevertheless, Usenet is also unworkable because of spam?
