A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the ibmnet* groups were 
public.  We have been fighting to get other news admins to remove them, 
with little luck, and issuing rmgroups would cause more problems than it 
is worth.  We no longer forward postings off the service, but the 
decision was made (by others) to continue to allow postings in.

In 10 months it will be a dead issue as the ibmnet* groups will be 
removed 1-OCT-00.
