Which reminds me.  Is there any reason for the current default for
`gnus-ignored-newsgroups'?

(defcustom gnus-ignored-newsgroups
  (mapconcat 'identity
             '("^to\\."                 ; not "real" groups
               "^[0-9. \t]+\\( \\|$\\)" ; all digits in name
               "^[\"][\"#'()]"  ; bogus characters
               )
             "\\|")

And I don't even understand what it's trying to do.  It won't match             
             
#hel(lo

but it will match the perfectly sensible

"#hello"

Is the regexp just totally bogus?

I think what someone may have tried to express is "unless the bogus
characters are enclosed in quotes, then remove bogus character names",
and ended up with the opposite.

Sound reasonable?
