   Leafnode to All   
   Leafnode placeholder for group sci.space

   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 sci.space.science 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.
