In fact, most of us use ES specifically *because* rasfw here is

 I would point out that since google shut down, there hasn't been
any spam to filter.   Nor was there any before the recent
google thai spam storm.
 My usenet provider refused to filter that Thai spam because
they don't filter or moderate at all.
 

I've seen a few bits of spam since The Great Google Shutdown ( :P ) but very little.  I also have my own reader's filters still in place so it is possible that there is some more that I don't see but I agree it is better now.
