It's possible, if I remember correctly, that when the admin shuts the 
server down, they set a message on the server that the reader is picking 
up.  I seem to remember that some NNTP server software allows the server 
to reject incoming connections with a message.

I wonder if that may be what you're seeing - and the admin is just 
picking a line of text (maybe even using a script) out of a message when 
the server is shut down.

You might ask the admin about that.
