In the past couple of days about three articles came in which
were posted to a list of newsgroups such as:

	net.followup, net.misc, net.sport

Note the blanks after the commas.  The 2.9 news I'm running
created groups called " net.misc" and " net.sport" .
Readnews seemed to have trouble recording these so I kept seeing
the articles until I removed them by hand.

Can someone tell me if this is a 2.9-only problem, a portability
problem, or everybody's problem?  I'll be converting to 2.10.?
soon for those of you who become angered by us who run old versions.
