If a site does not want a group, then its feed can prevent it from
being unecessarily transmitted by prefixing the group with '!' in the sys
file. However, consider an article posted to multiple groups, say A and
B with gp. A appearing first in the list of groups. If gp. A is not being
transmitted and gp. B is, it appears that the article is sent as if posted
in gp. A and then linked from gp. B. That is, physical storage takes place
in the spool directory of gp. A. (At least, this is what seems to be
happening at one of our neighbouring sites.)
This leads to confusion. Can it be corrected?
