And he would have to litigate on every country in the world known to
have an nntp server.

wong.jim1980@gmail.com: this is usenet, not gmail groups. Google does
not own this. There is no central authority, it is a distributed system,
and very ancient as far computer things go.

I may be able to cancel a message, but servers may not recognize the
command or refuse. Some might, some might not.

And as you can see, many of us do not use real mail addresses, so can we
prove we are we?
