Allowed, yes.  Wanted, no (especially not in text-only newsgroups.)

Address header fields whose value do not contain an e-mail address, that is, 
the address of a mailbox (which by definition receives mail), and Newsgroups 
header fields whose value contains more than three newsgroup names 
(including both newsgroups in the Big 8 and alt.ALL) could be interpreted as 
allowed, too.  (See RFC 5536 and referred RFCs.)

But they are not wanted, as they go against the purpose of the medium.  
Depending on the rules on the server you are using, this could even get your 
account suspended or cancelled.

As a result, “Sir Gregory Hall, Esq.” (is that the real name? If no, that is 
also allowed but not wanted) will enter my killfile, too; that is, I am not 
reading their postings anymore, except perhaps in quotations, until they 
post appropriately (this is done automatically).

You must decide if you want your postings to be read, and if yes, by whom.
Your postings are not going to be read by people who do not want articles 
with attributes considered unwanted (such as the one I mentioned above) in 
Usenet, or in newsgroups in general.  And you should know that most of the 
time those are the people who know what they are talking about, while you 
receive mostly noise like that from “Sir Gregory Hall, Esq.” from the rest.

HTH

Crosspost (X-Post) limited to three newsgroups (for technical and social 
reasons); Followup-To (F'up2) news.software,readers (for social reasons 
only).
