I can assure you that both Chris H. and I are intimately familiar with
this news server and I can say without reservation that it is in no
way associated with USENET in any way, shape, or form. It is privately
funded, owned, and operated by a member for the POV-Team who will not
under any circumstances allow it to be connected to USENET by any means
possible. This how they manage to keep news-bots and spammers out of
here. You will notice, if you take the time to look, that the majority
of people that post here do so with their real names and e-mail addresses
because they know that it is a private server that is not used as a
collection point for spammers and address collectors.
