Comment Please do not apply this template to use a newsgroup post to verify content

According to Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources,

"Posts to bulletin boards and Usenet, or messages left on blogs, are never acceptable as primary or secondary sources.
This is because we have no way of knowing who has written or posted them."

Accordingly, this template should never be included in the "References" section of an article.
