I don't understand -- I was under the impression that rrn already
understand bogus newsgroups.
Note, Simson, that there is a difference between bogus newsgroups
and newsgroups that are not bogus but that you don't want to add to
your .newsrc.
In any case, can you give me an example of a newsgroup of type 'x'
that rrn is asking you to add to your .newsrc file? If you're not
sure which newsgroups are of type 'x', then you can get a list of them
by running "telnet bloom-beacon | tee /tmp/active", then in telnet use
the "list" and then the "quit" command.
