First off, nope, it's perfectly possible for *a* person to destroy a newsgroup. All you have to do is post a troll, then reply to each and every flame you get being even nastier, then continue on geometrically. It's not that tough. I've seen it done too many times. As big as usenet has gotten the 'killfile the troll' technique doesn't work anymore. As far as being difficult goes, not really. A well moderated group is so fast as to be unnoticable.
