Hello Digital.Man!

So can you fix your gateway to USENET alt.bbs.synchronet please?

Thank you,

From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

This is a bogus message. It isn't possible for anyone to have address 1:396/4 - it's not open to the public and has no user interface. 1:396/4 is simply the address of the stand-alone NewsGate machine. Anyone posting to the alt.bbs.synchronet newsgroup would have to post from a FidoNet address and be linked to my ALT-BBS-SYNCRHONET echo. There'd be a dead giveaway who's posting; their address would show up in the "+ User FidoNet address" kludge.

This isn't the first time someone has tried to do this crap - it didn't come from here or I'd have a log of it and could cut that Node off straightaway. Feel free to post this to the newsgroup if you wish.

Best regards,
Marc
