Actually, that's the nn program.  It sets a distribution on followups
if the original article didn't contain one.  Of course, it's still my
fault because I didn't override it (forgot) and I'm the one that installed
nn :-)

As someone else noted though, the distribution hasn't prevented the
articles from getting across the pond.

You're right; this comment was in reference to an example sys entry
in the article I was responding to; it's not really relevant to the
question of creating/passing on bogus groups.  And not all news 
administrators agree with your views on distribution settings.

I find it rather ironic that you flame me for using limited distribution,
then go on to defend a news setup which renders almost all distributions
moot.
