list of usenet newsgroups
I'm enclosing a current list of all net and fa newsgroups that
currently exist.  Please adhere to the group names used here.
If I have missed newsgroup that people consider to be active, please
let me know.  It might be worthwhile for sites to add their own
local newsgroups to this list and post that as article 1 on newsgroup
general, with an expiration date far off into the future.  Local newsgroups
are not listed here since they vary from site to site.
