Hello pine experts, many times when I enter to a newsgroup and after 
waiting a couple seconds, the newsgroup turned out to be empty. Anyone 
knows how to show only unempty newgroups? Also, how to stop adding new 
newsgroups when I starts pine? Thank you very much.

You can't stop them being *shown* (after all, you *have* subscribed to them).

But what you *can* do is press the Tab key.

This moves you to the next New message in the current newsgroup.  If 
there isn't one it offers to keep searching through newsgroups (skipping 
empty ones) until it fins one.  If there are no more it offers to return 
you to the INBOX.
