As some of you are probably aware by now, about 15 or so newgroup messages
accidentally escaped my site, servalan.  I've been setting up C news on my
site, and created locally (or so I thought) the newsgroups with
"inews -C newsgroup -d local".  As you all can see, inews cheerfully put
"Distribution: local" in the body instead of the header, making a local 
newgroup global.  The messages sent out were for the following newsgroups:
	rec.music.misc
	rec.music.folk
	rec.music.dementia
	rec.music.cd
	rec.music.bluenote
	rec.music.newage
	rec.music.synth
	rec.music.gaffa
	comp.sys.mac
	comp.unix.aux
	ok.general
	ok.announce
	ok.test
	ecn.general
	
Kindly ignore the ok.* and ecn.* groups, as most of you shouldn't be getting
those groups.
Sorry, guys.  I really did think this stuff wouldn't go anywhere past my
machine.  I definitely need to look at the C News "inews" shell script to
see what is going on....
