Many of the newsgroups Jef Poskanzer lists are not valid. I think
it's time for him to run a checkgroups.

:comp.hypercube m			(long since changed to comp.parallel)
:rec.humor.spc m			(deleted at moderator's request)

:rec.mag.fsfnet m

Now this one really *is* dead. It was gatewayed from a BITNET mailing list
that has since left us. The issue will, however, have to be taken up with
Erik Fair, since it is an inet newsgroup.

:comp.ai.ailist y

I have no idea how Jef picked this one up. It's certainly not for real, though.

:comp.ibm.binaries.d y

Created by a bungled newgroup message long ago. I mean *really* bungled; the
perpetrator didn't even get the newsgroup name right.

:comp.lang.lisp.common y		(not listed as valid)
:comp.mail.mhs y			(not listed as valid)
:comp.mail.mhs.arpa y			(not listed as valid)
:comp.sources.unix.forgeries y		(does this look real to you, Jef?)
:comp.sys.symbolics y			(not listed as valid)
:comp.windows.cl y			(not listed as valid)
:gr.flame y				(gr?)
:gr.general y
:gr.quality y
:news.stargate y			(long dead by request of Stargate)
:rec.arts.tv.bbc y			(rogue newgroup)
:rec.games.vectrex y			(another dead inet mailing list group)
