... I was trying to figure out geographically where, France, England...maybe even more precise, Paris, London? Anyone can go to usenetzone.com and sign up, but thank you for your input though. :^) According to whois, it's in Hong Kong. The whois lookup will only tell you where the domain name is hosted. It doesn't tell that the user is co-located with the host. Normally, there would be a "NNTP-Posting-Host" field in the message headers that gives you the actual IP address of the person who posted the message. But the message in question here doesn't include that. So, the best you can do is know that the NNTP server used was usenetzone.com's. The person using it could have been anywhere (though, for a good reason, it's possible usenetzone.com would check their logs and be able to tell you the exact source of the message). Pete |
