In the first half of that sentence you say it's impossible.
Then in the second half, you state that you know it's possible.

Isn't _that_ impossible?

Maybe the real answer is simply that you just don't like the question?
But then, why did you respond to it if you don't know any answers?

The question is asking what free news servers don't require registration.
It's an appropriate question for this ng even though you don't like it.

You predicted it would not be possible to post more than once
through paganini.bofh.team. I posted more than once. Now
you're just moving the goal posts.

It seems to me that any further interaction with you would be
a waster of time.

Don't deflect, seamus. You lied that Marco told you to fuck off. He's
been nice to you. You've been obnoxious.

The only relevant statement to make to you in followup whenever you
start making false accusations and lying is to tell you to fuck off,
seamus.

Both Ivo's and Steve's no-registration servers have been random lately.
news.mixmin.net:119
paganini.bofh.team:119

Which is why the correct question is being asked of this a.f.n newsgroup.

If anyone can name a free no registration privacy server:port, I'll try it.
Please just list the server:port as that's all the information needed.

Thanks!

ITYF that all you need to register at E-S is a working email to
confirm your bona fides, your choice of account name and then
whatever From: name you like. Excessive morphing or other bad
behaviour will get you TOSsed. I imagine that Ray would take
precautions against people registering multiple accounts.

Frogging from multiple accounts seems OK.

You don't need to use the mailbox you use for Usenet as the primary
means of communicating with you by email in real life, you blithering
idiot.

If you want to make an abuse complaint, then it has to be about actual
abuse. Forgery is an example of abuse. Ray would have done something
about forgery.

You chose to shoot yourself in the foot. It's no one else's problem but
your own.

That's simply not true. Free servers are appreciated and respected.
There are always a few turds who smell up a public communication resource
- unless it's a sewer by design, like Twitter for example.

Rest assured I appreciate Ivo's largesse so I'm not complaining at all.
I'm just trying to find a more reliable no-registration server. That's all.

I'm sure Ivo implements the random filters for good reasons which I do not
question as I don't envy anyone who is running a no-registration service.

The only reason we're diving into details is you people don't believe me.
Since you don't believe me, that means you don't know what I know.

You will know what I know of you run a simple multiple-post test, such as
1. Send a message to three newsgroups.
2. Send another a few minutes later.
3. And another... and another...

Depending on variables which are likely not random, but which appear random
to me (for example, the time between sending), paganini will soon fail.

Worse, send a long message, perhaps that contains links to web sites.
That will even more randomly fail with various error messages
(usually badword or domain are the most common but other messages happen).

The way I know they're random is the SAME message works if you switch
things up a bit, which you have to experiment with, so you can't take the
error at face value (it's probably some kind of check that doesn't happen
each time but which only happens with frequent posters or something like
that).

It's not like aioe's 25/day hard limit as it's much more random than that.
If you only post with paganini once or twice a day, you won't notice this.

Anyway, I'm not complaining. I will THANK Ivo for letting me use his
server. Same with Steve. Same with Wolfgang. Or Jesse. I thank them all.

I just seek a no-registration server without the random errors that both
mixmin and paganini have been experiencing, of late, that's all.

It should be a perfectly on topic question for this specific newsgroup
of experts who have been using free news servers for many years, right?

Why would any responsible poster want to do that?
Crossposting to three groups is borderline spamming.

Does it make a difference if you send your crossposts
with a Followup-To: a single group?

Thank you for keeping the thread on topic, as I feel this is a perfectly
reasonable question to ask of a group whose charter is free news servers.

Having used gmane in the past, I'm not sure it belongs in that list as I
don't know how to characterize what it is, but it was _different_ then.

Looking at my log files, the supposedly free no registration free news
servers I've tried in the past are in this list (culled from my logs).

I haven't tried any of them recently, but their presence in my logs
indicates that they failed, because I would remember if they worked.

Please understand I am not complaining at all about mixmin & paganini.
I'm just seeking a no-registration privacy server that's less random.

I want to make this point clear that I very much appreciate Ivo's largesse,
just as I appreciate use of Steve's server, and Paolo's wonderful support.

I very much appreciate that Alex used to let us post without registration
using his free server, but even he has moved to registration for posting.

I appreciate Wolfgang's & Daniel's/Monica's easy-registration process, just
as I appreciate Jesse's & Alexander's email-request registration process.

I don't mind that Alexander and Netfront put the IP address in the header
either, as privacy can still be maintained as long as you're aware of that.

I'm just trying to find a more reliable no-registration server. That's all.

I'm sure Ivo implements the random filters for good reasons which I do not
question as I don't envy anyone who is running a no-registration service.

The only reason we're diving into details is you people don't believe me.
Since you don't believe me, that means you don't know what I know.

Instead of us wasting time with you challenging me to prove that I know
what I know, I would prefer we invest our time looking for free news
servers which either don't require prior registration (better), or which at
least publish the registration details (which dizum used to, for example).

In short, I seek a no-registration server without random errors that both
mixmin & paganini have been experiencing of late, that's all I ask for.

It should be a perfectly on topic question for this specific newsgroup
of experts who have been using free news servers for many years, right?

FFS, just register at one of the servers that requires a
valid email for registration with a throwaway email
account. The email I'm using here is valid, but I rarely
check it. Or just carry on moaning.
