Hi Quasar
Well I see you are using giganews but I see your headers are showing an
IP address and it should not? So you should investigate this anomaly.
And I wonder if it's a news feed via your own ISP (internet provider)
which is very bad for your safety.
When I last used them (giga)they had A.B.P.B.Retromod
So if they discontinued carrying them that's news for me.
Astra still has the group but I see some of the servers have dropped it
from their group list
It does seem to be on secure.news.astraweb.com:443 but your Xnews reader
will not be of use as it does not have any SSL capability
(Agent does but not free)
Astraweb is very efficient but they will report any abuse of their
service very swiftly and their TOS forbid the posting of pictures of
persons under the age of 18
This group seems an anomaly to their enforcement of this rule,
Maybe it is left alone to act as a honeypot, who knows?
