This is not doing what you want.  The subscription list in the ME entry
has *absolutely nothing* to do with what newsgroups your site wants.  Please
re-read doc/newsfeeds.5 more carefully.  There is only one place that lists
the newsgroups that you want to receive:  the active file.

You cannot do this.  If you want a newsgroup, put it in the active file.
If you don't want a newsgroup, then remove it from the active file.  If
you want a group filed in junk, use the x or = flags in the active file
entry.

That is a very intersting title -- first time I've ever seen one like it.
