<I begin to like this bug - results in cute one-liners. please don't kill it>

several times in the past, I've seen messages to new groups with a name just
one letter different from an existing group.  the latest example, which
floated just by me, is "net.periph".

As "net.periphs" already exists, I begin to wonder.  Are there news-versions
out there, which will create a new group automatically under some/all
conditions?  I can't belief that the authors of the articles in question
created new groups, it has happened too often already for that.
