I'm glad they don't. We've had very little trouble with spam. Using 
"uncool" software like newsgroups means we fly under the radar. The 
people who want to be here have no trouble finding it, and the spammers 
overlook it.

Google does index the Digital Mars newsgroup archives, which does 
include 100% of the n.g. posts, but since it is a custom thing that I 
wrote no automated spammer tools recognize it for what it is.

I don't care to add registration for the n.g. because it drives away 
people. There are a lot of sites I would post to, but don't, because I 
just tire of the registration process, wait for the email, respond to 
the email, complete the registration, come up with a nick/password I 
haven't used elsewhere, try to remember that nick/password, relogin 
every time I wipe my cookies, etc. Bah.
