It's not the same. Your list may not see the post for days. USENet is
faster than that.

It receives those posted to USENet just as it would any other
group. That's why those gated don't make it to databasix.com for days
after they're actually posted. So each appears twice. Once as the
original USENet post and once as a post forwarded by you.

If all the groups were set to moderated and sent on to you instead of being
immediately posted, that part of the probem would go away.
