Ever heard of threaded news reading? It works really well. By looking over
the subjects and discarding the ones I don't want to read I can usually
reduce the number of articles in this group to under 50 per day (quite
reasonable).

I prefer this solution to being forced to read 4 or 5 different
newsgroups all on Linux.
