the web, these days seldom provide any means of contacting them.

 
Yes, this is indeed the problem.  Most want to "broadcast", but never
"receive", any information.

 
With email there used to be this required recipient mailbox "postmaster"
on email servers, through which the email admin received, e.g., complaints
about misuse of resources, or other things deemed "illegal", from an email
and a general online conduct perspective.
 
Although it may still be required, I don't think this mailbox is monitored
by many admins these days. Or you need to be in on some secret usage of
vocabulary to circumvent heavy filtering.

Yeah, I feel like email to postmaster@bigsite.com just about anywhere
will either bounce (at least you know it went nowhere) or go into an
email black hole never to be seen nor heard from again.

Same trend on Usenet. One can no longer see the path to servers (at least
not on my server). Now it just says "Path: not-for-mail."

Works fine here:

Path: eternal-september.org!news.eternal-september.org!feeder3.eternal-september.org!panix!usenet.blueworldhosting.com!diab
lo1.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!peer01.iad!feed-me.highwinds-media.com!peer03.ams4!peer.am4.highwinds-media.com!news.highwi
nds-media.com!fx05.ams4.POSTED!not-for-mail

That's your path header from the article this is a reply to.

So either Pan is not showing you the full header, or something real
funky is happening with easynews's nntp feed.

When I asked about it, they, of course, said "for security reasons."

That's often the "we don't know, we don't care, we just want you to go
away" answer -- and for many it does cause them to "just go away".
