Well, some ignorant fool has decided that he knows something the rest of us don't and has gone and recreated a bunch of groups that have been removed over the years. Here is at least a partial list: net.admin net.4bsd-bugs net.auto.all net.bell.bocmug net.bugs.u3 net.celts net.cse.cai net.games.rog net.games.rogu net.games.triv net.groups.control net.info-micro net.info.terms net.joke net.lang.pasca net.limerick net.lisp net.micro.appl net.micro.atar net.motorcycle net.movies.sw.ctl net.needed net.msg.ctl net.news.confi net.news.newsi net.news.configuration net.newsite net.periph net.oa net.rec.disk net.rumors net.sport.base net.sport.foot net.site net.telecom net.unix-wizar net.unix-wizard net.unix.wizar net.unix.wizard net.unix.wizards These groups, as all of you (except him, obviously) can see, were removed for one reason or another and should not be around. Therefore, I am going to remove them again.

Those groups might be removed from <your> machine, but they still exsist and <are> active on many others. (Life is so hard sometimes when you only think your God)

Spelling on the net seems to be a topic of hot discussion but I was not aware of this extending to the nameing of newsgroups as well. When I subscribe to a newsgroup I expect to see all relevent articles and not have to subscribe to all of the variant spellings that I can think of. I *WANT* less, not more newsgroups. Ray
