   That is also a re-writing of history:   
       
   1) How to get a nodenumber is well described in P4. You should try it   
      yourself one day after all these years of escaping the scrutiny of a net   
       
      You can 'not' get a nodenumber anywhere.   
       
   2) What's so bad about getting multiple feeds and getting them from anywhere   
      or anyone? The days of the 'Khontrol' have been gone for years. Fidonet is   
      now mostly peer-to-peer ... a lot of people saw to that. It was invoked by   
      the Fidonews-debacle.   
       
      And yups, there's nothing anyone can do about that ... it's a free world.   
      Freedom of speech is a thing.   
       
   In your case, Dossche's Laws on Online Communication #6 #7 and #17 apply. You   
   should really read them... Especially the #17.   
       
   Take care,
