I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the new rec.bicycle.*
groups at my site.  There are very few articles in them, and
in fact with only very rare exceptions, the only articles that
appear in the new groups are ones that have multiple groups
in the Newsgroups line.  In other words, nothing shows in
rec.bicycles.soc unless it also was also posted to
rec.bicycles (or rec.motorcycles :).

Can somebody familiar with news technology tell me the right
words to use when trying to explain this to our administrator?
What kind of failure could cause this?

thanks,
