Sorry, ignore all this. I'm talking rubbish. 
I forgot I updated the rules a while ago, nyms /can/ have some special characters 
like '.' in. I forgot to update the code that "cleans up" usenet nyms at the same 
time, so this is a bug.

Also "#%" is url encoded as %23%25. doh.

I suggest after you log in, you change your nym to "q.kontinuum", which you can 
do on your profile page.

cheers
