exactly. =)

well, there is not very much documentation in the wiki or the old docs about NNTP. If i give my users access to NNTP i don't want them to be able to easily make a mess. (By default you dont have to authenticate at all to access NNTP for example). And if i as the sysop do not know much about the NNTP+synchronet details, how can i expect them users to handle it correctly. 

PS: i will continue to ask questions, even if the question might sound stupid to you or the other synchronet veterans. Please keep in mind that there are still sysops who have to learn and experience everything that synchronet has to offer.
