The loonies are easy to ignore or filter away, but they probably discourage potential new users (who mostly arrive on Usenet from the various web-based front-ends) from sticking around. I wonder if a decent web portal could revive the medium - give it a twitter-ish format or whatever is the current social media craze, while allowing the user to manage filtering effectively (or perhaps allow an administrator to manage the filtering for them). It's probably a lost cause, people have been trumpeting the death of Usenet for years although I think it will yet linger longer. Even if the global network withers we can still run private servers, like in the old BBS days. :-)
