Description:
------------
It should be nice if there can some options been added in the returned array from getGroups. (numbered options can be deleted for memory)

Expected result:
----------------
With this results you can do a lot more.

Array
(
[group] => php.announce
[description] => Announcements of new PHP releases
[last] => 0000000051
[first] => 0000000001
[count] => 50
[posting] => m
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[0] => php.announce
[1] => 0000000051
[2] => 0000000001
[3] => m
[group] => php.announce
[last] => 0000000051
[first] => 0000000001
[posting] => m
)

Problem soved:

Do nu use:

require_once 'Net/NNTP/Client.php';
$nntp = new Net_NNTP_Client();

but:

require_once 'Net/NNTP.php';
$nntp = new Net_NNTP();

That's a rather bad idea, since development of the Net_NNTP class is halted, and only serious bugs will be fixed. Do what ever you want, but this is surely a dead end!

Group descriptions are in stead fetched via getDescriptions(), since it was too much overhead retrieving a list of all group descriptions each time a list of groups was fetched.

While the group descriptions is more or less static, the list of accessible groups might be very dynamic, since the server might treat users differently...
