Summary: The patch is for the feed site, not the leaf node.


     Some poeple here have missed the point.  The patch is to be
installed at the feeding site, not at the leaf.  This allows a
feed site to pass a group along to their downstream neighbors,
even if they don't want to make it available for their local
users.

     This still means that the feed site is receiving, storing,
and transmitting the group, but it does keep "objectionable"
groups from being read by overly-sensitive local readers.
