I'd hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater as it is otherwise a
great medium for discussion/consultation.

If the important groups were made moderated, would that not solve most
of the problem?


It would kill most groups, because someone has to read and approve every
message. I've heard of some newer moderation software that allows white
listing, but I have no details. Unless there is real time posting, the
group is fairly useless. Who wants to wait hours, or days for their
message to appear? Take a look ar Guy Macon's moderated newsgroup, or
any other moderated newsgroup for that matter.

news:rec.radio.broadcasting was an active moderated newsgroup. The
moderator died. Another finally took over, but the group is more or
less dead.
