If anyone has a question as to the validity of a newsgroup in the Big 8
hierarchies, (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk), you
should read the articles in news.announce.newgroups or news.groups.

The following subjects are posted there on a regular basis.

	Bogus Usenet Groups
	Current Status of Usenet Newsgroup Proposals
	New Usenet Groups

In a recent posting, the rec.radio.commercial-lmr newsgroup made the
bogus list.  In particular, look for article <[email protected]>.

If your newsreader software cannot lookup articles by message id, then
you can get the article by doing:

	telnet your-favorite-news-server 119
	article <[email protected]>
	quit
