   This is a bogus message. It isn't possible for anyone to have address 1:396/4 -   
   it's not open to the public and has no user interface. 1:396/4 is simply the   
   address of the stand-alone NewsGate machine.  Anyone posting to the   
   alt.bbs.synchronet newsgroup would have to post from a FidoNet address and be   
   linked to my ALT-BBS-SYNCRHONET echo. There'd be a dead giveaway who's posting;   
   their address would show up in the "+ User FidoNet address" kludge.   
      
   This isn't the first time someone has tried to do this crap - it didn't come   
   from here or I'd have a log of it and could cut that Node off straightaway.   
   Feel free to post this to the newsgroup if you wish.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
