[nothing snipped, parts re-wrapped]

I hate to tell you this, but your article (above) is a mess.

I think the fellow who designed your gateway should do a little research
on Usenet standards, otherwise you guys will get laughed off the groups.
He should look at the RFCs; I'll leave researching which ones to a
diligent student (you'll need one).

This is not intended as a mere put-down, but what you have at present is
simply not fit for purpose. I sincerely hope that you persevere; if you
can make it work properly it would be an asset to Usenet.
