What USENET needs is a distributed system for collection of per-article and per-sender ratings, and for filtration based on those ratings. That would be useful for other applications, as well :)
I would argue that what USENET needs is a way for the cost of publication to be incurred by the publisher; storing the data in your own repository (or repositories) while pointers get flooded through the USENET distribution system would give publishers an incentive to do garbage collection that they do not have today. It would almost be like gluing a USENET distribution front-end onto a collection of Napster back-ends. Stephen
