"Highly irregular ..." ("The Third Policeman", Flann O'Brian, propably on
bycicles, bull licenses or the county council). You're supposed to run
fetchnews from cron(8) or similiar. It knows the servers you want to
use from the central config-file and the groups from its interaction
with leafnode. Only if you need missing articles would you make it
retrieve them using "-N".

Your user-agent breaks lines in a funny way. Using gmane.org myself to
read mailinglists, I don't get to see the original M-IDs and cannot look
at the original articles.
Giganews.com is broken: It ignores M-IDs replacing them with its own,
so fetchnews is unable to verify if articles got posted. You're not
posting in this case, but this could be some other giganews bug.

This shouldn't happen at all. The message is issued if store.c doesn't
see a proper "Newsgroups:" header. As the article comes from upstream
and isn't altered by fetchnews, I'd be inclined to point at giganews
again.

Doesn't look that bad.
Whenever I spot "bad" articles not in my own spool, I try to get them
via "http://howardk.freenix.org/msgid.cgi?STYPE=msgid&MSGI=%s";, with the
last "%s" replaced by "<message-id>".

So far, you have seen only warnings, no serious errors, I guess.
