As system administrator, I try to make this as logical as possible. Yet it is impossible to come up with an order that satisfies everyone. My wish is that readnews be modified to use the presentation order of each user's .newsrc. That would allow each person to customize the order they see news- groups according to their personal tastes rather than that of the system administrator. --peter
