It would avoid the current hassle of quitting readnews, editing the .newsrc, and restarting readnews whenever an uninspiring group comes along. The S command is a nice idea, but how are you going to find out about these new groups if you aren't subscribed to them to start with? Did I miss an assumption somewhere? Seems like the easiest thing is to get everything by default and make unsubscribing painless. -- DJ Molny ucbvax!ihnss!ihuxn!djmolny ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
