What about the person who wants to post a message but is at a site that only
gets one of the groups?  Unless you have created the group despite the fact
that you don't get it, the postnews program wont let you post to a group that
doesn't exist on your machine.  Admittedly, you can edit the newsgroups line
when you are in the editor but that means another step that people have to
remember.  I am currently checking into several possibilities that might be
used to solve the problem.  I will report back when I have more info.
