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.
