From what I could see of the messages flashing by it was subscribing me to all sorts of groups with funky arpa.*, mail.*, comp.lang.* and so on names. Groups of which I never even heard. One easy solution is to unsubscribe them using "u" command if you don't like to see them in Newsgroup buffer. The other solution is to prevent being added automatically using options line in .newsrc file. "options -n !comp" means comp.* must be ignored when checking new newsgroups. If you don't want to be added comp.* any more, put this options line in your .newsrc. file. After that, you can remove unnecessary newsgroups in that file. "options -n !comp comp.sys" means comp.* must be ignored except for comp.sys.* when checking new newsgroups. If you want to be added new newsgroups under comp.sys hierarchy, use this options line.
