I had just received and apologetical letter from nfsun about the newgroup
command. Apparently, in order to create a series of newsgroups that they
were missing, they sent a bunch of newgroup commands. Unfortunately, they
were not limited in distribution, and propogated throughout the net. They
used articles from their junk group to create the newsgroups, and for some
reason comp.ibm.binaries.d was created, for reasons still unclear. Someone
from the backbone may wish to send an rmgroup to delete this rogue group.
