The "from" header seems to be forged, but you can go to
http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=express&Netnic=whois.arin.net&host=24.222.194.126
to see a nice detailed tracert of the common nntp posting host for
these messages. It appears to be comming from a cable-modem user in
Canada.
If it were me, (which it never would be), I think I'd use a free
dialup account rather than an expensive easily traceable cable-modem
account to spam usenet.
