My news leaves me a daily message about all the bad newsgroups that have come 
in.  How can I check into the validity of this?  Is someting being scrambled
or what?  This is a daily occurrence.

I also get the message that newsgroups are sys but not in active. I can't find 
those suckers for trying. Can I get it to tell me which ones are the culprits?
