In fact, the effect that Mark Plotnik describes only happens when the
USENET software is compiled with the `AUTONEWNG' define turned on.
Otherwise, articles in unrecognized groups go in a newsgroup called
`junk' where they rot until expiration. Junk is one of a couple of
groups that you must explicitly ask for in your options line, if you
really want to read that kind of stuff.
