BRAVO! BRAVO!!
But not automatic; the synopsis is just as important as the title.
How often I have saved, moved to a new directory, and unsharred a
posting just to find it isn't of any interest.  (How often have I
ignored a posting that would have been of interest?)

A one or two paragraph blurb describing each source posting would
be *very* helpful to anyone who doesn't have time to read every
article that comes across the net.
