Vernon's arguments are becomming increasingly obtuse.
NNTP is a Pull system. Each spam message sent to usenet is sent to the
system as a whole and not to the individual users. It is the individual user
who decides whether or not to pull a message onto their personal machine.
Spam mitigation in usenet has the major advantage that it is only necessary
to delete a message once per server and it dissappears for all the users at
that site.
The terms push and pull are well understood to the network comunity in
general as are forged headers, authentication and every other term Vernon
has invented disputes over.
