Are there any verification things that are part of the official NNTP
protocol? If not, then anyone who uses a standard old newsreader could
end up being out of luck. I use 'gnus' inside Gnu emacs, for example. I
also have absolutely no idea what my password (is that what we have?) is,
since I've never needed it for anything. Hopefully I wrote it down
somewhere. Basically I read and occasionally post to, the Lugnet
newsgroups, but have never used any of the other services (except the
set database of course).
