D'oh!

But I was using "fetchnews -f".  Shouldn't that override the noactive
line in the config file?

Also, I changed the noactive to 0.  Here's the resulting output.

As you can see, I still have 

  news.rcn.com: not attempting to update newsgroups list

in the output.  

What am I missing?  Thanks again.
