I agree. I usually try to browse all the way through each day's postings at
the top level of the hierarchy to see what's going on. If a group that I'm
interested in has a lot going on, then I will drill down into a particular
newsgroup for better focus. LUGNET doen't force the compartmentalization on
us (except for where to post), instead it is up to the reader to choose their
level of filtering.
If LUGNET is for compartmentalized dorks, then I must be a compartmentalized
dork, because LUGNET works quite nicely for me!
I've said this in the past, but it bears repeating -- nice work Todd and
Suzanne! Keep LUGNET chugging...
