	I don't understand this.
	I have never seen nothing like this.
	Is there anything that people like the users of this mailing list
(kerberos) can do against these kind of people ... or did I get it wrong.

	They are asking money so that they don't trash newsgroups with their
keygrap high-tech (:-)) technology????

	How legal can this be in this still so unlegalized world of the Net?
