21 * New groups now always start numbering at article 1. Previously article
22 numbering would start with the first held remote article number, in an
23 attempt to avoid newsreaders noticing if noffle is deleted and
24 reinstalled. Given Noffle may well not collect the first held article
25 anyway - it only will if the default number of articles to retrieve on
26 a first connect is big enough - and the fact that Noffle's pseudo
27 articles make it impossible to keep local article numbers in lock-step
28 with the server, there is the chance this scheme would just cause
29 readers to miss new articles.
