   What an ass you are Ritz.   
      
   How can you possibly abuse a "network" on usenet?   
      
   Do you mean a DOMAIN?   
      
   A domain that doesn't even have an MX record?

   The use of a non-functional email address when posting to usenet is   
   universally recommended.   
      
   There is NO authoritative rule that states that a usenet posting   
   identity must be valid in any way.

   There has been no such sanctions as you claim.
