The groups in question have not conformed to certain rules/customs. In that sense, their names are "bogus" -- not official, conforming use of the namespaces the usenet organization has reserved. The fact that these groups apparently have the most right to the names in question is a big point in their favor, but the group maintainer did not go through the customary processes in reserving the names and requesting listing. So they are not official, thus they are "bogus". It looks like I'm may have to finally subscribe through my isp and learn how to configure a newsreader in order to vote in favor, instead of posting through google all the time. That should speed my access to usenet up quite a bit. Oh, well.
