Yah -- here's to looking for that better solution!

Anyhow, it is definitely a "bummer" for me to need to use extra clicks with
the Web interface; the only reason I use it is to *reduce* the amount of
clicks.  I know what I want (channels and user-customizable views), and it's
what I've been waiting for to pay my full promised amount to LUGNET.  I'm
really hoping Todd gets the changes in (actually I know he will), not only
for my whims but also because it's the best solution for LUGNET.
Hmm.  How about if there was a switch you could set (via a cooke or something)
which would let you disable the .admin & .off-topic filters and reenable the
full set of the articles?

That would be awesome.  Hopefully, such a system might be expanded upon in the
future to arbitrarily block of ther groups; I'm not so hot on seeing messages
from .belleville for example.  :-,  A default filter for the general
population, then, could block the groups .off-topic.* and .admin.* and others
as deemed appropriate.
