Google acquired all the Usenet archives, and is the dominant posting

Wrong. There are thousands of other usenet archives besides Google
and using Google is NOT the "dominant posting interface". Most people
who use usenet still use news readers rather than a webpage.

In 1995, Deja News was created to provide a user-friendly interface to
Usenet.

Wrong. Deja was an *archive*. Adding a user-friendly interface was
an afterthought.

....and one that they never accomplished.

There's one even worse than Google: talkaboutnetworks.com. Their
ONLY content is usenet, and their TOS claims that they "own" what
we've written (ie, we'd have to ask them for permission to quote
ourselves).

We're feeding the spam-troll, though

I've figured out a way to do a post-download purge not only of the spam-trolls
but also of any responses to them.
