Person A wants to read 3b1 and 3b2 articles only.  Person B wants only
3b2.  Person C wants 3b2/15, but never 7300 or 3b20.  Maybe an
occasional 6300, but never 6300+.  Person D doesn't wanna read
anything at all, but still subscribes.

How about we solve this problem once and for all, and have someone
write a really hugely mutant news system that allows everyone to build
completely custom news group definitions before you ever see it?  Now
that would mean that for person A, comp.sys.att would only contain 3b1
and 3b2 articles.  Everything else would just be vaporized.  Of
course, he could always pump all the rec.arts.startrek articles about
Tasha Yar's bra, or lack thereof into comp.sys.att if he wanted to
also.

Now, wouldn't that solve everyones problem, as well as be totally
ridiculous?

(Obvious sarcasm terminated).  :-)
