ok, i'm not sure the docs say what happens when two servers have the
same group. i assume it gets the first.

you see i read from a readonly local taiwan server, and post from a
german server... and also gmane.org.

but i dont want to waste time checking the german server when i only
use it for posting

well, some config items might be
 --try to post on each server or just quit on first sucess
 --which servers are readonly and which are postonly

not admin-only, try my http://jidanni.org/comp/ppp/newsqlr
