0348fc4ae5 Revert parts of r40985 for Usenet groups that are still alive. 
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc still gets traffic, even if at a reduced
level, and comp.unix.questions is pretty alive too.  But instead of
reverting the changes and listing them in two places, one paragraph
now talks about both Usenet groups.
