      Won't this also drop any articles that pass through those sites
      on their way to you, no matter what site posted the article?

   Yes, but there should be paths around them (for all but very few if
   they are sole upstream nodes for some leaf sites).  The articles
   will probably get to you anyway by other routes.

If:

a) you have multiple feeds that aren't just leaf sites, and

b) your other feeds don't get the message from the same sources (like if it
hits UUNET or PSI or the like with the path contining one of those sites,
then that is how a lot of sites will get it)

This seems unacceptable for me personally, when you could drop an unknown
number of articles, and a kill file (and a smart control system for becker)
will do just as well.
