control, junk, and test are three newsgroups that it's assumed almost nobody
really wants to read.  There is code in readnews and checknews to turn them
off unless you explicitly ask for them.  Thus, subscribing to "all" does not
get you these three newsgroups, but subscribing to "all,control,junk,test" does.
