right, but I thought the point of this was a private news system not
connected to USENET. In that light, if anyone connects to usenet, and
probagates the freebsd.* groups they should get an rmgroup. Of course the
servers want won't honor the rmgroup, but the rest of USENET will.
Connecting to USENET opens everything up to spammers. If they refuse to
propagate our groups, that is good for us.
(I'm not trying to say that USENET is bad, but for those who want it stick
to comp.os.freebsd or whatever it is called now)
