    of America?

    Is Eternal-September's NNTP server
    just a private NNTP server?

    Is its sole purpose to steal passwords

    Yes.

    Is Eternal-September's NNTP server just a private NNTP server?

    What do you mean with "just" ?

    Is its sole purpose to steal passwords and gather intelligence?

    No.

    Usenet is a worldwide linked network.

    Run from the Pentagon.

    Is Eternal-September's NNTP server
    just a private NNTP server?

    The CIA and NSA wouldn't be happy to let just anyone
    use it, but yeah, it's kind of private... as long you
    know the secret access point.

    and gather intelligence?

    Of course. And you are now on the watch list.

    Oh hang on, is that a knock at your front door?!
