I see, reading the answer, that I mispelled the last "p" in hexadecimal, 
using the letter O instead of the numer 0.
So, for what is worth, here are the amended identification sequences:

   Protocol:  NNTP (reading)
   Identification Sequence:  0x6E 0x6E 0x74 0x70  ("nntp")
   Reference:  [RFC3977]

   Protocol:  NNTP (transit)
   Identification Sequence:  0x6E 0x6E 0x73 0x70  ("nnsp")
   Reference:  [RFC3977]

OK, let's see their point of view.
