This is a list of all the groups I currently have a long description 
for.  If you really have a good description, don't get discouraged, instead
check out whats there by sending a message with a subject line "See: 
Newsgroup" for example to see what's there in news.answers you would send 
a line with a subject "See: news.answers".  Upon receiving the request 
the server will mail you the raw database file for that group.  For
a description of the info in the raw database files send a line with a
with a subject "See: database-info".

I currently have 335 out of 6113 which is about 5.48% of the 
total amount of newsgroups.  For a more detailed breakdown of the
status of the descriptions that I have get the file desc-status
in the same manner you got this file.
