[net.news] Multiple newsgroup bug??

Recently, someone posted an article to (among other groups)
net.general and general. This means that every machine that gets
the article will also show it in the group 'general'. This seems
like a bug to me. Wouldn't it be better that, as soon as an article
is sent to a machine that doesn't recieve all the listed groups from
your site, the groups not forwarded are removed from the 'newsgroups'
line?
 I know that there are some very good uses for this fug(beature?)
but still, it smells like a bug, I think.
