I ran the checkgroups message from Gene Spafford and got some interesting
results.  Namely, it mentioned some groups including soc.culture.british
as being ones I should remove!  Now soc.culture.british is a real group
and is in the newsgroups file produced by checkgroups -- still, I was
asked to remove it.  It wasn't the only one.

I looked at the checkgroups code and see that it checks the sys file
for a subscription list.  Well, soc.culture.british is in my subscription
list -- both soc.culture.british and soc.culture.celtic are listed
individually.  No problem with soc.culture.celtic though.

I'm running cnews dated 10-Jan-1990.  I don't know if that's the most
recent or not.  I also can't find a manual entry for checkgroups...

Thanks for any help...
