Allow me to emphasize the words: READ-ONLY NNTP server. As in it would not
accept any posts. Posts to the list would still have to come via e-mail
through eCartis. Most news clients I've seen let you reply to a news
message with an e-mail...
This way I wouldn't have to deal with NNTP authentication, and still retain
the security of having eCartis verify your e-mail address upon posting.

I also would love to be able to read newtontalk via inkspot on the Newt
(ie NNTP)...
I am wondering though if this would be a source of spam? In my
experience posting to usenet has brought if a deluge of that crazy UCE
(ie spam) if a correct return address is used.
