	When I want to make a newsgroup locally, I usually post a newgroup
message to newgroup control, with distribution set to local.  Is this
proper (i.e. does it ensure that the group only gets created on my site)?
I'd hate to think I've been flooding the net with spurious new groups while
all the while thinking I was doing it right.
