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.
