No, that server came into being strictly by the `foreign' `B' in group
buffer technique. Ditto for the now exiting gmane server.

It would be nice if the error offered something, but I did know from
past experience that if groups for a server exist, you can't kill it.
But as I mentioned, I see no groups for quimby anymore at all.  Not
since larsi announced gmane to be online.
