I don't see spam as much of an issue, either in my email or in the newsgroups I read. If anything, it's on the decline. Maybe it's time to chill out about spam...
I get a few hundred a day, since I've been online and reading USENET since 1984 or so, and have never tried to hide my email address.
Even at a few hundred a day, it's not MUCH of an inconvenience, however zero would be nice.
A year or so ago, it jumped to about 10,000 a day. Try that number on for an inconvenience factor.
When I had my ISP filter out all but one email address on another of my domains, it dropped back to the mild inconvenience of a few hundred.
Chill out? Never...
