Last year I remember i deleted a few hundred newsgroups from my NEWSRC file
that I had no intention of ever reading, which greatly sped up the time it took
for news to load up.  I tried this again yesterday, but the next time I went
into news, it added all the deleted groups back into my NEWSRC file as "New
newsgroup, not registered" (or something like that).  Is there any way to
prevent this?
 
Thanks,
 
Brian
