No.  That 'route' is an unreliable 'back channel' accidental non-peering
'funky' way for an item to sometimes be able to be posted from GG and
'magically' propagate into the 'actual' non-peering news.spamcop.net
newsserver.

Nothing you post in reply is likely to ever propagate back to the GG
place where the OP posted from or is reading.  It is something like an
unstable wormhole vis some TV show I forget the name of just now.

Almost never.  Occasionally thru' the webtv unstable wormhole.
