About the only good thing about having the distribution of a group
tied in with the subject of it is that you can recognize when a group
should not be forwarded and strip it from a newsgroup list that
contains groups that should.  This is no longer being done.  This causes
several problems.  One is that a message to "net.auto,general" ends up
in the "general" group in EVERY site.  The other is that the junk group
is filling up with articles for "nj.general" and "btl.foobar" because
there are postings to these groups and a net group.
