It has one (WP:RS). The guideline is don't do it. The problem is that these guidelines arise out of disputes, i.e. maybe someone tried to use a Usenet post to prove something about a politician, and the result (reasonably) was a guideline that said Usenet posts weren't reliable sources of info. In the cases where it's something ok, the editors use common sense and leave it alone. Until that bot got loose and started removing all Usenet links whether they were ok or not. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
