Interesting ... I just got an e-mail message with "Problems with
your active file" as the subject.  It then went on to tell me that:
"The following newsgroups are not valid and should be removed."

It then listed EVERY newsgroup in my active file, after which I was
given the delgroup command for each group (almost 1000 in all!).

Did somebody pull the plug on Usenet and didn't tell me?  How was
this message generated?  WHY was this message generated?

If I don't get a reply I'll understand why ... this newsgroup has
been eliminated!  :=)
