Ok, so they *did* appear on the NNTP server at one point in time.
I remember seeing the one entitled "Rape is Rape" in my newsreader.

Which means my statement is correct.  Once posted, they appear.

Whether or nor you or someone else removes them is irrelevant.
That is just marking spam as spam, no different than a BBS, or email for 
that matter.

We'd have the exact same problem with any other methods of 
communication(Except for the system in place to deal with it.).  NNTP 
seems to be snake oil.

Hands-in-the-air I want no part of any argument.)

methods of viewing the forums, does it not?
