I found this section very hard to read, especially since there are no blank
lines in it. Can I propose a rewording:

  7.1.2  Initial Connection Example

     Example of a normal connection from an authorized client
     which then jumps directly to the conclusion step (see section 10):

          [Initial TCP connection setup completed.]
          [S] 200 NNTP Service Ready, posting permitted
          [C] QUIT
          [S] 205 NNTP Service exits normally
          [Server closes connection.]

     Example of a normal connection from an authorized client that
     is not permitted to post; it also jumps directly to the conclusion
     step:

          [Initial TCP connection setup completed.]
          [S] 201 NNTP Service Ready, posting prohibited
          [C] QUIT
          [S] 205 NNTP Service exits normally
          [Server closes connection.]

     Example of a connection from an unauthorized client

          [C] Initial TCP connection completed
          [S] 502 NNTP Service Unavailable
          [Server closes connection.]

     Example of a connection from any client where the server is
     unable to provide service

          [Initial TCP connection setup completed.]
          [S] 400 NNTP Service temporarily unavailable
          [Server closes connection.]
