I just got another burst of rmgroup messages mostly from alice!news.  I
rechecked the discussions in net.news.group, etc. and could find no particular 
consensus to delete any specific set of groups.  Further these messages
refered in passing to some groups which I could have sworn I saw deleted
last week AND the week before AND ....  Could someone send me a brief 
explaination?

A couple weeks ago, I sent out a blast of rmgroup's for the
net.bugs.columbia, net.bugs.cse, etc. thing.  Also for net.joke.
Apparently, these having been looping around the network.
Brad Templeton, I believe, also complained of getting them
twice.  I also got about three notices of each one from other
sites that I maintain news on.  In short, I only sent them out
once when the groups appeared, but they have gone around many
times.
