usenetabuse.com is a domain run by Steve Walker, nntpserver.com, who
provides usenet service under a variety of reseller names, some of
which are actually separate resellers while others he apparently runs
himself. He uses the usenetabuse.com domain for handling abuse reports
regarding his service, but of course this does not excuse him from the
normal responsibility to handle emailed abuse reports.
