Denys hit this on the head - so I guess you can blame us, since we operate
the gateway.

BTW, it's not just DejaNews, anyone with an ISP that provides NNTP feeds,
can feed Usenet to a server.  It's a lot of bandwidth and a lot of disk
space, but most ISPs provide the feed free of charge to leased line or frame
relay customers.  Any spammer with a few dollars can get a feed.

Best Regards,
Joe
