A couple months ago somebody said that they had made a fairly simple
modification to readnews making it use the order newsgroups appeared in
the .newsrc file.  I use my own news reader, and this is how I chose to
control it, also.  It seems to me that this is the natural mechanism, and
I would hope that it becomes the "official" one, if there ever is such a
thing.  Trouble is, existing readnews rearranges the order of the .newsrc
file, making it not even compatible with this convention.  Oh well.  I use
my own reader exclusively anyway, but it would be nice if it and readnews
could be used interchangably without little flakes.
