For example this (http://effbot.org/zone/socket-intro-nntp.htm) website has an
explanation about this:

Client: GROUP comp.lang.python
Server: 211 367 13887 14268 comp.lang.python

Above means that articles 13887 until 14268 might(!) be available.
It's of no use to try to fetch an article outside this range,
and an article need not be present!

Better/other reference:
