   It's very simple. Just subscribe control.rmgroup newsgroup on your   
   newsserver. Newsgroups control.* are created automatically by every   
   newsserver, but there may exist some restrictions set by newsadmin:   
   * control.* newsgroups may be hidden for common users and you can't see   
   those groups on the list of all newsgroups;   
   * control messages may expire like other messages and you can't see old   
   messages.   
      
   In such cases you should contact your newsadmin.
