	Well, I, for one, feel that telling another site what groups
it can and cannot recieve is completely out of line.  If the other
site has some alternative way of getting the groups you will not pass
on - all right, but I sincerely hope major feed sites will not start
cutting off groups like this!  Just passing a group through to your
feed sites uses little disk space, since the groups can be deleted
immediately after delivery! I would certainly hate to come some
morning and find my favorite groups cut off without a word!
