    I've found a way that is likely to extend the life of the Usenet:

    Make the NoCeM software available for operating systems other than
    Linux (and possibly UNIX). It hides most of the spam, regardless of
    which news server it was posted from.

    I tried to do this; I was able to download the source code and try
    to compile it under Windows. However, the compile failed - one of
    the files that should have been included was missing.

    Making it easier to install newsreaders would also help.
