May I remind you that there is no news service named

I did...and there is. This link works:
http://www.databasix.com/

It works for me. ;-) It works very well!

That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not some individual's
personal site, disguised to look like a real news service,
though...when I forwarded one of the garbage posts that used
my name to (one of the addresses shown on
this page of the site: http://www.databasix.com/contactinfo/)
the reply I received was hardly typical of the kind of
response one gets from legitimate services:

In other words, you engaged in netKKKopping. You're too stupid
to understand what usenet abuse is. You bother various providers
with numerous and bogus abuse complaints. Did you know what YOU
are doing is a form of abuse? Unless you have a legitimate abuse
complaint, please cease and desist. Two people (Jonathan Ganz
and Katysails) bragged about their netKKKopping activities in
alt.sailing.asa and brought chaos upon that group.

It's obvious you don't know the meaning of the term forgery
as it applies to news or email....I suggest you and your
friends learn how to use a killfile.

Good advice, IMHO. I would not have been as polite...

So yes...databasix.com does exist, but as for who it belongs
to and what its purpose is, that's highly suspect.

Could it's purpose be to provide free speech on the Usenet along
with some income for the owner(s)?
