I've been stuck in the dark ages using Google groups, but after this
last barrage of spam to c.l.l, I'm finding myself willing to finally
pay for something that can get rid of all the Nike knockoff spam, etc.

I'm just using my ISP's server, but I can recommend Gnus as a reader.

Ugh, I've attempted to use my ISP's server, but it is terribly
unreliable and has no spam filtering. I mainly lurk, so it's usually
not a problem to just use Google. But, I think I'll take a look at the
one recommended by Tamas.

I use news.individual.net, 10 euro/year, nice and reliable service.
Regarding newsreaders (ie the actual applications): most of them do
filtering/scoring nowadays, so pick the one you like most.
