    Imagine you are a privacy oriented individual. Also imagine you need to
    keep 'secret' your usenet communications. Also imagine that you live in
    a country in which your jurisdiction via your own NSP provider is out to
    'get you' by reading/spying on your nntp comm. That privacy oriented individual would want more security than conventional.

    There are 'plenty' of NSPs which don't require reg, sometimes w/ varying degrees of their own problems of abuse.

    A dev of much privacy ware and contributions to ng/s such as alt.privacy
