From: Jorj Strumolo 
 Recently, as part of a discussion of illegal newsgroup
 names, I wanted to do a search thru a plain text version
 of the 22,000 newsgroups on this server, trying to find
 groups with names over the 14-character unit limit,
 such as "alt.conspiracy.new-world-order" where
 "new-world-order" has 15 characters after the last dot.
 I could do a search for   \.[0-9a-z_+-]#.*      , that is,
 a dot followed by *1* or more occurrences of 0-9, a-z, _ or +
 or -, optionally followed by a '.' if the string wasn't the last
 part of the name.  I couldn't find a way to limit it to *15*
 or more occurrences of the first range.  Is there one?
