- I get that error, too, and suspect it is due to lack of memory, my
- provider carries all the available newsgroups and the list is just too
- long. Perhaps others will set us both straight.

- Here's how I get around it. Go to Connect Thor and select browse
- newgroups. Enter the name of the new group you wish to join and get
- the headers. Then I quit connect thor go into Thor and do the join
- command. I get the same error you describe, ignore it, close the
- window and a list will pop up which shows all the currently subscribed
- groups as well as those you have visited with browse news through
- connect thor. Select that new group from the list, send events and
- you are joined to the new group.
