NOT inconsistent
In order to aviod getting news about unix-wizards,
I have found it necessary to have two entries on the
option line of my .newsrc file: i.e. !all.unix-wizards !all.unix-wizar
This seems to stem from the fact that Unix limits file
names to 14 characters while many newsgroup names exceed 14 characters.
This same problem presumably exists for other newsgroups that
exceed 14 characters (e.g. net.digests-people).
