If you retrieve articles from this server and store them for your own
private personal use you are not violating any of the server policies.
If you take articles from this server and make them available to others
either public or private you are then technicaly in violation of the
server access policy. Under no circumstances are you to allow a feed
from this server to any outside network including usenet without the
express written permission of the POV-Team and specificaly Chris Cason
whose job it is to administer this news server. If you violate any
of these restrictions Chris WILL block your domain and you will no
longer be able to access this server or it's contents. This has happened
in the past but only to those who were providing direct feeds to usenet
news servers and were in direct violation of the server access policy.

If you need any further information let me know and I will find out
what I can for you.
