Absolutely!  I do group changes by hand.  I don't want random messages
from off-site changing my active file.  A message in
news.announce.newgroups would have explained things to my
satisfaction.  Even an explaination in the control message would have
done the job.  But why the multiple control messages?  If one doesn't
do the job why expect that three will do it better.
