At the moment it _is_ spreaded all over the Usenet. The question I
asked was about a bidirectional gating, the unidirectional gating is
already active.

The two biggest German newsserver, news.t-online.de (T-Online is the
biggest ISP in Germany, when counting the customers) and
news.cis.dfn.de (A public-access (with registering) newsserver
partially sponsored by the German government) have the linux.*
hierarchy.

I for myself post with my real address on newsgroups. In de.*, faked
email addresses are a no-no, and most providers enforce email
addresses that can be replied to.
