We could all ask uunet to put myname/zuma in our feed entries.
Unfortunately given the "mesh" nature of usenet it would take a lot
of admins doing that before all the leaks could be plugged.

The problem with fanatics is that they think that their point is the
most important point in the world and worth breaking any rules to get
across.  How would he feel if I walked in uninvited, one of his ethnic
discussions, and started ranting on about the proliferation of "alt"
groups, commercial postings, INN vs. C news, NNTP vs. NFS, etc?

Unfortunately we can not reply by email and replying to the postings is
violating the same rules he does by inflicting unrelated discussion on
the readers of the non admin groups.  You don't suppose that he actually
reads news.admin do you?
