OTOH, I do like the idea of splitting that topic off separately, because that means that I don't have to skip them if I am trying to catch up on unread articles. I don't want to filter them out, because I'll want to go back and read them later (for me, SPARK has lower priority, but not something I want to eliminate). With the groups split you can prioritize your reading of the subject matter, and of course filtering becomes effortless ;-) Just my $0.02 worth. -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg
