[net.news.b] bug in readnews?

crl@pur-phy.UUCP (Charles LaBrec) (10/19/84)

A user just had about 3 lines of an article inserted into his .newsrc
(at the beginning) by readnews.  Has anyone seen this behavior before
and know the reason?

When I installed news, it automatically sent out newgroup messages
for 3 newgroups, one being net.adm.site.  The other two were listed
in the latest newsgroup listing, so I don't care.  If net.adm.site
is indeed gone, then it will have to be rmgrouped again.  New installers,
beware!
