As of now, access to net.news.group has been permitted. I am still, however,
forbidden from seeing net.unix-wizards, net.sources and its subgroups, 
net.adm, net.bugs, net.games and its subgroups, and several subgroups of
net.news that I probably wouldn't want to see but don't really know about
because I can't see them.
