Are *you* crazy?  People here are immune to blogspam advertisements, so save 
your breath.

For the black hats:
   - they may infect readers with malware
   - they can make money for adds on their blogs (*)

For the white hats:
   - very little
   - it is more personal and they can better keep it / control it
     (news posts expire from news servers and Google Groups and other
     archives are readonly)

*) white hats can also use adds, but then it is a small benefit that
    help pay for the web space not the purpose of the blog

For white hats:

Usually you can disable user comments at a blog, which allows you to 
remove annoying spam postings, unlike Usenet, which has got a lot more 
of them lately.  CF the OP.

So theoretically, you can have higher quality content at a blog, or at 
least a more consistent level of quality anyway.
