  I agree!  I think that splitting the newsgroup by show is about the
most ludicrous idea I have heard in a long time.  

  Let's be logical, folks.  It seems logical enough to me that if people
continue to put the name of the show into the title, then the problem is
solved.  If you reader lets you skip keywords, then that's keen.  If not,
then you just select articles with the stuff you want.

  I could see Rats.CBS or ABC or NBC, but still, it seems silly.
