I think there is a lot more room on the net for such interesting groups
as   net.may26th, net.may27th, net.may28th, etc.,
or   net.cheerios, net.wheaties, net.quisp, net.cream-o-wheat, ...
or   net.miller-hi-life, net.becks, net.pilsner-urquell, ...


and on and on and ...

Let us all please remember that there is a limit to the number
of lines in the .newsrc file.  This limits the number of newsgroups
as well, since once we exceed that number (not even counting the
options line(s)), readnews won't work.  Though the number (as
we got it) is 512, and there are 'only' (over here) some 120-130
groups, please keep that in mind.
