Ah, yes.

Now I see why I was unaware of how to fetch bodies from
Pluto.

It must have been years ago I gave up trying to influence
which Newsroups I read using Pluto, as I constantly ended up
with things in a vicious tangle.

Looking at Pluto after all these years it claims that I am
fetching from all sorts of NGs that I had forgotten even
existed.

I just use Newshound's Config files to control which groups
are fetched and ignore Pluto's facilities completely.

Works for me.
