Keywords: news notes gateway localized articles

my site, texsun, has become a news <=> notesfiles gateway recently
and i have noticed the following groups being made by notesfiles. they
do not appear in news, so i assume that news is bright enough not to
keep them, but it does seem to be passing these articles right 
along to the next site. below is my sys file. perhaps the all option 
is permitting these groups to get passed though not created locally?
the log file does make reference to them at times; something to the effect
that these articles are not localized, so they are probably going into
junk, i guess. there are not many articles in these groups, but the
costs, i would imagine, do add up if there are a log of ghost articles
like these floating around.
