I can empathize, and I therefore also like the idea of a News server -
ideally one with groups that are gatewayed to the e-mail lists (and vice
versa). I only recently joined a couple of the FreeBSD lists (-questions,
-current, maybe -announce [don't remember for sure right now]) and am
experiencing the same situation as stated directly above by Mr. Chapman.
Having stuff pushed to me is nice, but there's a limit as to how much
niceness I can take.... :)
