Once again, I repeat my question: Am I the only one having problems
with Eliot Lear's checkgroups messages ??

Regularly, when they come, I receive as news admin a mail telling me
how corrupt my active file is (basically, no comp.* etc. group is
valid) and advising me to rmgroup all these groups. Of course, I don't
obey, but the problem is that my /usr/lib/news/newsgroups is getting
completely wrong this way. I have to wait for the next monthly general
checkgroups (sent from cwi here in Europe) to get a valid newsgroups
file again. This is a bit disturbing as I provide access to this
newsgroups file to users here, through a help interface, for knowing
what's in the different newsgroups.

Does the problem come from Eliot Lear's checkgroup message or from my
version of Bnews 2.11 (some beta version, I admit) ?

And yes, honest, update of our Bnews software is on my TODO list.
