It only make sense if you are desparate (agreed). But he
sounded desperate to me.

I don't know of any ISPs locally that have open NNTP services. Here,
not only are the SMTP and NNTP servers carefully protected, but
they monitor _you_ to make sure that you don't burden their
network with NNTP services that you might give away ;) !

They even monitor home based web servers. They will allow it
if you sign up for a "business class" service, which requires
more $ outlay. ;-)
