Having two newsgroups identical in names except for case sounds silly 
to me, I don't know what the RFC says, but from a userfriendly point of 
view number 2 would certainly be it... The question is just what to do 
when the upstream has two groups with the same name, fetch from both? I 
guess this would make things a bit more complicated in fetchnews though.
