I recently accidently posted an article to net.micro twice due to the
following apparent bug, we have postnews (v2.9) I think. 

In reply to the newsgroups prompt I typed 

	net.news.group net.micro

and got a message saying something like

	test: unknown operator net.micro

well I naturally assumed that my message didn't get sent to 
net.micro - I was wrong!
