-Personally, I would subscribe to 1-3 and "u" 4-8.

An excellent split.  The problem is that you have to skim 4-8 anyway to
make sure someone didn't post something there that should have gone into
#1.  Then you also need #9, comp.sys.ibm.pc.meta-flames, for flaming
mis-targeted postings.  And on the other hand, why bother to read #2?

Also, you need
	5a comp.sys.ibm.pc.good-answers-to-questions-I-cant-answer
which should in turn be subdivided into answers-to-questions that you
know you want to know as soon as the question appears, and answers-to-
questions that you'll ignore until it hits you a week later that you
should have read that posting to fill an unsuspected void.

Let's just simplify:

	1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.things-I-want-to-read
	2 comp.sys.ibm.pc.things-I-dont-want-to-read

Then I can read #1, and post to #2  :-)
