	Yesterday qubix received a control message from alice!news
	cancelling the newsgroup fa.info-cpm.  After checking the
	latest list of active newsgroups from alice!alb, which arrived
	about the same time as the rmgroup message, I decided that the
	cancellation was in error so I did an inews -C to re-create it.
	Now I have 2 questions.

	1)	Why am I being inundated with messages from various
		news systems ranging from v2.6 to v2.10 complaining
		about a misunderstood control message or some such
		thing.

	2)	I saw no discussion about a pending cancellation and
		the latest active newsgroup list says that fa.info-cpm
		is still active.  If an established group is to be
		cancelled there should be some warning.
		
		A suitable alternative would be to include in the rmgroup
		message some text identifying the sender of the message
		and the reason for the cancellation.
