    "j"  Articles are filed under the "junk" newsgroup.

Is there any reason to constrain the implementation so much?  It seems to me
that "j" could easily be implemented as "accept posts but do not file them",
without the use of, or existence of, a "junk" newsgroup.   Would that break
existing clients, or common usage?
