Actually I'd like to see a nice "sample article" from each newsgroup
as constructed from text posted in the last month (the so-called
'travesty' generator, I can't remember the real name of the algorithm).
That would be neat.

I make use of these postings!  It's a quick way to decide whether to
wade into a comp.* newsgroup that I don't have time to keep up with
but periodically has a nice long discussion about something of 
interest.
