Don't worry folks.  He sent me some sample articles, and they are all
earthquake stories posted to biz.clarinet.sample.

He got confused because, to be efficient, I cross-post the earthquake
articles to biz.clarinet.sample from the regular feed into
clari.news.disaster and other groups.  I don't generate an independent
feed.

What that means of course, is that you see "clari" groups on the newsgroups
line, but you aren't getting them.  Actually, if you created
the Clarinet groups on your machine, the articles would go into those
groups, but you wouldn't get the others.

My UPI feed is 100 groups and many hundreds of articles per day if you
want 'em all.  But there have also been plenty of quake stories and that
got him confused as he thought he got the full feed.  If you got the full
feed, you would know it!

What annoys me is that you can't even give stuff away with no strings
attached on biz an not get complaints.  I suspect if biz.clarinet.sample
is to become a regular usenet group, as some people suggested to me,
it will have to be somebody else who goes through the net.bureaucracy.
I don't need more hassles in my life.
