I understood exactly what you wrote. You are reading this group from
your ISP's news feed or other feed OTHER than logging into the physical
server hosting this group.

I am logged in to news.mozilla.org which is hosted on a PHYSICAL server
housed at Netscape corporate headquarters located in Mountain View, Ca.

When I post to this group, the server "feeds" it to "usenet" as well as
mailing lists, etc. And this is how YOU read it.

Exactly, this is what you "confirmed". I have since subscribed to this
same group on my ISP's news feed at COX.NET .... I didn't realize that
they carried it until recently as I've been using the server at Netscape
for years.

I'll reply to this reply using COX's feed and we'll see what's different
in the header info. I'm curious as well.
