@PassingWind no - you have the encoded response sent to usenet. example, it looks like a silly post in an unmoderated group, one of thousands. Or is a picture of something, in a binaries group focused on pictures.
groups and people communicate all the time in usenet, mostly openly and some privately. There used to be a ton of spam-looking messages in usenet but if you started reading them they all looked like back and forth e-mails made up of silly or weird phrases.
