On Usenet, all servers carry all (well propagated) groups, provided 
that the operator has created the relevant group on his own server.
This is inherent in Usenet's 'flood-fill' scheme.

NB:  creation of a group is not the same as 'newgrouping' it, 
which requires compliance with Usenet custom and practise.
Research in the relevant RFCs is highly recommended.
