Too much cross-posting?

What defines "main newsfeed"? After routinely reading about UNIX-PCs in
comp.sys.att, this meta-discussion of crossposting appeared. I hadn't
paid any attention the unix-pc in the newsgroups line until then.
Discovering that the unix-pc.* groups didn't appear in my active file,
I found out from scott at zorch what their names were and duly inserted
them. Voila! A short time later, unix-pc articles appear from my main
newsfeed.

This very article came in on the following path:

zygot!dlb!amdahl!apple!ames!lll-winken!pacbell!safari!whizz!bbh

Looks pretty mainstream to me. Lot of VAXEN up there; not many 3b1s.
So now, what's all this about the groups being hard-to-get?
