It's a half misfeature. The intention was (and is) that services with no
contactgroups OR contacts should inherit the ones from the host, but it
was coded up so that if the service had contactgroups (but not contacts)
it would inherit contacts (but not contactgroups) from the host. The same
applied when the service had contacts but no contactgroups and the host
had contactgroups.

In 4.0 this is fixed so only services with neither contacts nor contact-
groups inherit them from the host.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
