I read the Technic news group regularly through the web interface.
Lately I've noticed that most of the posts to the Technic group seem to be on
the new Bionicle/Slizer/Roboriders themes, as was recognizes by Todd by
starting three new news groups for them.

While I'm very happy a lot of people seem to be interested in the new
themes I personally have no interest in them and for me the Technic news • group
is simply filled with noise. I really see no connection between those models
and Gennifer's models, Amnon's clock and other great _technic_ models. I • simply
can't see these themes as part of the Technic spirit.

So, Is there any way I can filter those posts out of my web interface?
(I guess it's a question for Todd unless somebody else knows the answer)

If you use the Web interface go here...

But... doesn't that filter only work at the top-level view of newsgroups? Our
correspondent is reading specifically the Technic news group and is looking for
way to read it without all the roboriders, slizers, and bionicles messages.
Wouldn't it be good if there was a link at the top left which was exclusive of
the specialized groups, i.e., a "Technic" area that only included messages to
lugnet.technic and not messages to any lower level newsgroup?
