[NNTP] Article Numbers Becoming Invalid (RFC 3977)

> My feeling exactly.  The article pointer can't be manipulated while invalid according to spec, and it's only ever valid if set explicitly.  So how do you find the first valid article number without setting it?

It's set explicitly by GROUP on a valid non-empty group.

Contrary to my previous messagess, GROUP doesn't set it to LWM but to the
lowest valid article number.
