I put the problem of *Usenet* spam squarely at Google's door.

Two things: That doesn't mean a thing, and your trace goes back to google as well.

Today it's google. Yesterday it was hotmail, yahoo, you name it. Fact remains most spam (as in eMail spam) nowadays comes from zombie machines with dedicated software doing the job.
Dedicated software installed by the end users who don't know any different, and double click on email attachments such as "bigtits.exe".

Today, if you want to point the finger anywhere, point it at the average windows user who's too stupid to tell the difference between a valid attachment from a colleague, and malware. Oh, the fact they insist on running MS Outhouse express doesn't help matters any.
