Yup. *LOTS* of places drop _everything_ from alt.net on the floor for
that precise reason.

Alt.net, corporately, doesn't think that that "respect for other's
property" is important.

Actually, they do.


Alt.net users have rather spotty propogation of their postings as a
result.

No, they don't. I can post to any newsgroup form this or any of the other
providers i use.

You know not that of which you speak.

Yes, you can post anything from alt.net.

No, anything you post _from_ alt.net does not get "everywhere".

Several major news-servers do drop *everything* originating from alt.net on
the floor. For users on those systems, "alt.net" simply does not exist.
