That's odd. . .I was just thinking that adding more groups might be a
problem for Web readers, since that's more clicks to follow each group of
interest. For NNTP it's easy (at least with Pine and, I assume, other
newsreaders): if the group is of interest, add it---the newsreader will
check it for new messages, and not bother you if there are none; if the
group is not of interest, there's that much less noise.
