   I ran gnus; things acted exactly as they should have but at first I
   thought it was freaking out from me and coming to eat my brains.  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.
