Use the following line as your basis:
all {
Newsgroups [^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,.*
}
This kills 6 or more newsgroups unconditionally (you can't keep
*.answers - wish I could find a way to keep some of MY comp.os.os2
stuff that gets killed due to massive crossposting.) There was a
major explanation of regular expressions a month or so ago here in the
newsgroup. You might check the archives for a better explanation (it
went WAY over my head.)

Souper is a program that runs on your machine, unlike uqwk. You're
not at your ISP's mercy - but also you can't blame them for your
problems :-) No chance of them losing your carefully-built newsrc or
other essential files.
