Sez who? Since when has any site needed to ask permission of ANYONE else
on the net, to add a feed?

The Soviets could well be getting a news/mail feed right now and you have
no way of knowing. A site desiring anonymity can easily hide under a subdomain.
(You may know from the maps which site is 'bar.com', but you have no way of
knowing the whereabouts of foo.bar.com unless that site wants you to know.)

As I recall, you hinted that if the Soviets were publicly known to be on
Usenet, most defence contractors would drop their feeds. That's their loss.
The net will survive without them.
