Hmm. Something that I've noticed for a while not, but not cared enough to
mention before this is...
The skip filter only works on the highest level, and goes away as soon as I
drill down into a sup-group. (ie: I have .debate filtered out, but if I go
into the off-topic branch of newsgroups, I see .debate messages)
It's not a big deal, or anything, I'm just wondering why that happens.
