Has this newsgroup gone to spam? I used to read this group often and now
it is just 90% spam.

I see the spam too, and I use Google Groups -- however I suspect that
the spam is going to the usenet group, and being filtered by most.
Google Groups doesn't seem to bother filtering.

Using forteinc groups. Who do you use?
