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.

Oh, there certainly has been.  It's been pretty effectively dealt with
however, but you can look at the control messages and see what is going
on under the hood if you want to see them kicking along.  The volume has
not been huge and the filtering system has been very effective.

The google spam storm (and it wasn't just Thai, it was in a dozen languages
including English) was an outlier because the volume was so huge that it
completely broke down the filtering system which has worked so well for
so long.

My usenet provider refused to filter that Thai spam because
they don't filter or moderate at all.

That's good, but someone upstream of them likely does.  Which is the real
beauty of usenet.
