 This server is running leafnode, which is a dynamic NNTP server. 
 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.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.dos 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. 
  
 please talk to your newsmaster if you have any questions.
