abreviating newsgroup names
I've got a suggestion.  Avoid over-abreviating newsgroups.  I've finally
discovered that net.db is not net.databases but net.deadbaby (should be
net.jokes.deadbaby?) and net.swl is net.short-wave-listeners (should be
something under net.ham-radio like net.ham-radio.listeners?).  To the newcomer
this can be very confusing!!
