I can confirm Brian's observation.

A few weeks ago Brian contacted me via email to let me know he couldn't see
any of my posts and suggested that some type of active filter might be
happening inside of Supernews.

I contacted Newsfeeds tech support and they were able to verify that no
Newsfeeds posts were appearing on SuperNews' servers.

If I were a paying customer of Supernews, I would be pretty disappointed to
learn that they are apparently carrying out some sort of childish tantrum
in the form of Usenet censorship.
