I just got a hold load of control messages.  One of which nearly
wiped out my comp.sources.unix newsgroup.  The only reason it
didn't was because someone misspelt comp as com.  Here's the
entire list of control messages:

  1138) newgroup comp.risks moderated ~ 0 (Felix Lee)
  1139) newgroup comp.doc.techreports moderated ~ 0 (Felix Lee)
