That is also a re-writing of history:
 
1) How to get a nodenumber is well described in P4. You should try it
   yourself one day after all these years of escaping the scrutiny of a net
 
   You can 'not' get a nodenumber anywhere.
 
2) What's so bad about getting multiple feeds and getting them from anywhere
   or anyone? The days of the 'Khontrol' have been gone for years. Fidonet is
   now mostly peer-to-peer ... a lot of people saw to that. It was invoked by
   the Fidonews-debacle.
 
   And yups, there's nothing anyone can do about that ... it's a free world.
   Freedom of speech is a thing.
 
In your case, Dossche's Laws on Online Communication #6 #7 and #17 apply. You
should really read them... Especially the #17.
 
Take care,
