One person and one person only sends a checkgroups message. That person
is the hierarchy administrator. It is a declaration of being the
hierarchy for a specific hierarchy.

You are NOT the hierarchy administrator of free.*. No one is. alt.* and
free.* are unadministered hierarchies.

checkgroups messages are NEVER sent in those hierarchies.

Furthermore, checkgroups is the list of groups recognized by the
hierarchy administrator. The act of a News administrator processing a
checkgroups message is to create any group in the list not already
created locally, and to remove any newsgroup in the hierarchy not listed
in the checkgroups message.

Do you understand the harm you just committed?

This is a technical troll. It's so serious that you should be de-peered.

I strongly urge you to make an explicit statement that you will NEVER
send another control message until you fully understand the implications
of doing so, that you acknowledge that you are NOT the hierarchy
administrator of free.* because free.* is unadministered.

Stop sending control messages. If you don't behave, you should be de-peered
if that's the only way to get through to you.
