Let me try to clear something up...  I am the news administrator at
this site, and in fact make some attempt to coordinate newsflow
throughout the state (although I am not very successful at this).  The
reason I am letting this news fall on the floor is that these groups
were not in the last checkgroups message that I received, and there
was no create group message received at this site.  While it is true
that we have had some trouble with news distribution in MN, I don't
feel it is up to me to (even locally) create a group that has the
prefix "net" and has not been oficially created.  I never even saw a
discussion about net.consumers.house in net.news.group.
