[net.news] .newsrc question

When I do a "readnews", I get something like this:

Readnews: Too many .newsrc lines

If I edit .newsrc I find about 530 lines.  When I remove about the last
31 lines, then I can readnews.  It's no fun doing this every day! Is
there an easy fix?  What's going on here? It only started about a week ago.

This is exactly what happens when you have too many groups
on your machine.  Get your admin to clean out your active
file.
