Usenet Death Penalty. 

What I understood is that BellSouth supposedly allows "open proxies"
(not sure exactly what that is) and SPAMMERS can hijack them to use
BellSouth's access into WUN to flood newsgroups with SPAM.

The other news server companies are pissed at WUN & BellSouth because
they don't appear to be doing anything to stop it.

The Usenet Death Penalty would mean that nothing from BellSouth and
WUN would be accepted by other servers, meaning that you could post,
but your post would only be seen by people whose news server accepted
posts from BellSouth & WUN. 

On BellSouth we would still see all the messages from the other
servers, but anyone not on BellSouth & WUN would be unable to see our
posts.

At least, that's the way I understand it.

I do not speak for any corporation, government or organization.
All opinions expressed are uniquely my own. Ain't nobody else to
blame!
