  About the new structure of READNEWS:

a)  I think the thing we talked about a while ago, having
    an (O)pinion option for just replying yes or no to a
    question would be something to try to add to this new
    system.

b)  Would it be easier to have a person just read along the
    bottom/outside edge of the tree?  then they wouldn't
    have to leaf (excuse the pun) through all the branches
    just to get to an article they wanted to read.

c)  using (B) as a system, a person, when submitting an
    article, could be asked which main branch to put the
    article in, then whic sub-branch, then which sub-sub-
    branch, until it got to the right layer to post the
    article in.  This would make it much easier to post
    something.

d)  just as an aside, the (r) option would still be very
    useful.
