Then it could ask you if you were interested. If you weren't, it could then add to your options line in .newsrc so that you wouldn't get it. This might also help reduce the number of lines in the .newsrc, since several of the ones in mine are ones for which I have no interest. I sometimes forget to remove them, and now, with 60+ lines in it, it is a hassle to deal with.
