[news.admin] BOGUS newsgroups

chip@vector.UUCP (Chip Rosenthal) (07/28/88)

The recent checkgroups message gave me the following bogus newsgroups:

	comp.editors		comp.lsi.cad		comp.music
	comp.periphs.printers	comp.theory		news.software.nntp

All of these groups have fairly recent articles in them.  I guess Gene
is right, but what's the deal with these groups.

I'd prefer not to start a flame war over this.  Please send me mail and
I will summarize.

I won't sing for politicians.  Ain't singing for Spuds.  This note's for you.

Does a fix exist for the following problem, which some of my
news readers experience.

    They sometimes, when in rn, have their .newsrc files
    screwed-up after receiving a series of messages telling them
    that all their newsgroups are BOGUS ones.

Thanks,
