A little while back there were some very helpful posts about getting started wit open NNTP servers. Since my regular site runs kinda slow in the news department I've been having fun poking around and seeing about getting more current.
Then it dawned on me. People keep logs. Presumably routine logging would point right back at my ISP, and from there it'd be not too hard to pin down me specifically. No, I don't think anyone is particularly *likely* to do that, but why take chances?
So...anyone know of open NNTP servers that *don't* keep logs? Or some other way around the problem?
Well, as bad as the lack of anonymity may be, NNTP server logs serve a very usefull purpose, ie finding and eliminating trolls and spammers. Unfortunatly, I would have to go logs given the state of UseNet. Why not just read from the open server, and post anonyomously using anonymous remailers and News-to-Mail Gateways?
