They are:
comp.*
humanities.*
misc.*
news.*
rec.*
sci.*
soc.*
talk.*

rec.models.rc.air is obviously part of the rec.* group so there is no
problem there. However, alt.* is not going to be offered after the
26th of June and I frequent alt.os.linux.ubuntu. The biggest reason is
because there is a lot of **** in the alt.* group some of it being
child ****. So the New York AG took the draconian approach instead of
blocking just the binaries groups where the child **** is being
posted.
