For what its worth, uunet doesn't carry unix-pc.misc:

$ grep unix-pc /usr/lib/news/newsgroups
unix-pc.bugs		Bug reports, fixes & workarounds.
unix-pc.general 	General information and discussion.
unix-pc.sources 	Source code to various programs.
unix-pc.test 		Test group.
unix-pc.uucp 		Configuration and management of uucp on Unix-PCs.

I snarfed their newsgroups file about a week and a half ago
(and killed the /usr/lib/news/checkgroups script in the process),
so it appears to be a reasonably up-to-date list.
