I'm convinced.  I now have:

   These control messages are normally sent as point-to-point articles
   between two sites and not then sent on to other sites.  Newsgroups
   beginning with "to." are reserved for such point-to-point
   communications and are formed by prepending "to." to a <relayer-name>
   to form a <newsgroup-name>.  Articles with such a group in their
   Newsgroups header fields SHOULD NOT be sent to any news server other
   than the one identified by <relayer-name>.
