    Hello All.

    This server is running leafnode, which is a dynamic NNTP proxy. This
    means that it does not retrieve newsgroups unless someone is
    actively reading them.

    If you do an operation on a group - such as reading an article,
    looking at the group table of contents or similar, then leafnode
    will go and fetch articles from that group when it next updates.

    Since you have read this dummy article, leafnode will retrieve the newsgroup alt.bbs.cnet when fetchnews is run
    the next time. If you'll look into this group a little later, you
    will see real articles.

    If you see articles in groups you do not read, that is almost always because of cross-posting. These articles do not occupy any more
    space - they are hard-linked into each newsgroup directory.

    If you do not understand this, please talk to your newsmaster.

    Leafnode can be found at
    http://www.leafnode.org/

    Article received okay and read.

    Best regards,
    Marc
