  I have been seeing a lot of rmgroups lately, and I suspect that some
are bogus. When legit newgroup or rmgroup messages come through I see
reasons given, like usenet votes, etc. These have just come through,
from people I never heard of, removing groups, or making them
[un]moderated. 

  Either these people are bogus, or they don't understand the proper way
to send such a message. Could anyone legitimate not realize that
responsible sites do these changes by hand and don't honor unexplained
rmgroups from unknown people?

  Is this in the policy somewhere? Is there some majot news software so
broken that the posters can't add the message?
