Because most providers only let their customers connect to their nnrp/nntp servers. And you can easily build a filter which allows just port-119 connects from your news peers and denies all others... Of course, that wouldn't work as well for alt.net (you guys) if you're still selling off-site nnrp access to hundreds of people. Avi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
