New Revision: 41092
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/41092

Log:
  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.
