don't confuse email with usenet.

I'm referring to both.

Given the direction regulations and lack of knowledge have been
following, I'd almost bet that within a few years it will be illegal
to send e-mail,*OR* post on news groups without a valid return
address. At least they are going to try.

But a valid return address wrt usenet is what? the poster's email
address? But email isn't usenet, and having an email address should
never be a requirement for using usenet (after all, they are two
entirely different systems).

I'm hoping that you're thinking that there will be no anomyous
posting on usenet (which is different than requiring posters to
use a valid email address).
