I think the point here is that WP policy states that we
must used only
reputable or credible published sources as secondary sources, and
Usenet doesn't count as that. It can be used as primary-source
material for information about itself, but it can't be used as a
secondary source of information about someone else, especially not
when we're using a person's real name (unlike the case of Sollog).
But the article, [[Alt.usenet.kooks]], *is* about UseNet, so of course
it is relevant to use UseNet in that case as a primary source for
information about itself. The article simple states the verifiable fact
that this usegroup has given out "Kook of the Year" awards to several
people.
