Yeah, sounds like another one that "got loose" at one point, and only
the servers that honored the "authoratative" rmgroup requests cleansed
themselves of it. (It's not on eternal-september.)

I see a m.p.vb and m.p.vb.general. No "discussion", just "general". Both contain posts within the last year.

Must be an ISP server, right? So far, those don't seem to be accepting
the rmgroup requests from that guy.

From their point of view it amounts to "come home, you've always been welcome."

I don't see how anyone should expect more.

Eternal-September will not accept Juli�n �lie's rmgroup requests.

Some other news server admins in Germany will act accordingly.
One stated he will handle this like the alt and free groups, remove
the groups if there is no traffic.
Others said they will wait and see for some months.

Helmut.
