It most certainly is possible.
Not all news servers even carry all news groups.
A perfect example was the flurry of additional photo NGs a year or
so ago. Many could see them while others reported that their servers
didn't carry them.
So if I'm _seeing_ the group, what's the point of a test post to see
if it's carried? I'm just confused? ?
Ya, that wasn't a good example.
There are often glitches that happen though.
When you see multiple identical posts from someone, it is often because
something strange happened on the server end...where posts didn't show up
when they should have. This has happened to me numerous times.
