Sorry! I meant to reply to the newsgroup, and was puzzled when it
didn't show up. I must have hit R instead of F.

Subsequently I got the same result with one of the newsgroups I *can*
read.
I tried it in the Cygwin shell. The shell survived, but I got a
message "502 Permission denied".

Well, the number is (or purports to be) only 30 million. The current
state of my *Group* buffer is
0: nnml:mail.misc
88: alt.politics.libertarian
30221113: alt.usage.english
1: gnu.announce
25: gnu.emacs.bug
6: gnu.emacs.gnus
6:*gnu.emacs.help
2: ne.transportation
29993938: sci.lang
16: soc.motss
29988010: alt.suicide.methods
30: alt.quotations
30058577: comp.text.tex

I also tried another email (yesterday noon) to Wolfgang M. Weyand at
Motzarella.
Thank you for your patience.
