"Some header mucking" is a mild way of putting it.  I have long since modified
C news's newgroup and rmgroup control scripts to bounce alt messages to my
mailbox without processing them; needless to say, *that* one ended up in
/dev/null.  (Let it be noted that I don't particularly like heavy metal and
ignore the newsgroup; I do *not* ignore control messages with obvious signs of
having been sent by immature individuals.)
