Problems with all in .newsrc
The "all" meta-symbol doesn't expand far enough.
I put "!all.baseball" on my option line in .newsrc.
I still recieve news posted to net.sport.baseball .
When I changed .newsrc to "!all.all.baseball", I prevented
delivery of net.sport.baseball, but presumably this
would not prevent delivery of fa.baseball (if such a group exists).
Could someone precisely define the expansion of "all".
I would like to see it behave more like the "*" in Unix
file name expansion.
