the checkgroups from "grumpy" was likely a simple mistate of 
not editing the Distribution line.  Easy enough to do when
you're bringing up a new site.

You should not be running checkgroups control messages automatically.
Have them be sent to you as mail and deal with them by hand.
They're of the most use in regional and alternative distributions,
since the backbone isn't issuing them anymore (just posting them
to news.admin).
