If you can't cooperate with the folks attempting to administer USEnet, then leave. It was NEVER appropriate or even LEGAL for you to try to use this technical newsgroup, which is carried over government-owned facilities among others, for commercial purposes. It's also contrary to the intent of any technical newsgroup. This is NOT a small-time BBS, but a very extensive network, on which the cost of propagating personal "for sale" items far exceeds the total value of such items. This is well understood by long-standing net citizens. Get with the program.
