   Joe cannot control usenet.   
   (I am sure he wished he could.)   
      
   All your messages go to the server(s) and are distributed all over the   
   world.   
   Some newsgroups are moderated, meaning that a human (or a script written   
   by a human) decides which postings continue and which ones are blocked.   
      
   I don't know which newsgroups that Joe posts to are moderated (too many   
   to check), but the one that I read (alt.talk.creationism) isn't moderated.   
      
   So if your messages are not accepted for some reason, that reason is not   
   Joe.   
   A killfile is something completely different.   
   I have one on my newsreader: Some famous spammers go in there: all they   
   'publish' goes straight into 'valley of the lost bits' so I don't get   
   annoyed by seeing them. ;-)   
   But a killfile is a personal choice on your own personal computer.
