yes it is. I do both this *and* use a "real" newsreader - web to browse and
find interesting discussions in groups I don't normally read. Just hangin'
out at the water cooler, if you will.

see http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=4236 for similar (and apparently
shot-down) suggestions. I can imagine an "exclude" parameter to filter
particular groups and/or subject, a "since" parameter to only read back to a
certain date (all those wonderful parameter that VMS NOTES has, but that's a
different thread :-), and perhaps others.
I do understand, btw, with the "I'd rather see Todd and Suz spend time on
Lugnet-specific tasks" comments and wouldn't want to take time from "real"
work. I also realize that all (or some or most, depending on your choice of
client) is available via a newsreader. There is always room for improvement,
though.
