It's the @gioia. part I'm interested in.

Is that user-specific, or do all aioe.org users get the same hostname?


You think every user who posts on this site gets a unique host to themselves?


That's what I'm asking, numbskull.


Yes, all the thousands of users who use aioe get a server to themselves!
For free!

I don't need to produce anything pal. If you don't understand usenet thats
not my problem.


And you don't apparently understand NNTP posting hostnames.


Uh huh. If you'd bothered to do a lookup you'd have realised gioia.aioe.org
isn't even a valid DNS address, presumably gioia is either an internal server
name or just some ident they use. But what would a numbskull know eh?

Why don't you try posting from the site yourself and see what pops up. Since
you're such an expert on NNTP you don't need to reconfigure your client, you
can do it just using telnet.
