Re: Those groups levels again

yes.  before I got stuck here on the end of a ppp link, I was
subscribed to several hundred newsgroups.  a couple dozen of them were
must-read.  the rest varied, depending on whatever.  (eg, I tended to
spend a few weeks with a tasty group found by jump-to-random-group.)

once in a while, I'd try to rearrange the list so that
currently-interesting groups were near the top, but this was always
cumbersome and harder to do than I liked, even when I had keys bound
to pushing groups up and down in the list.

what I think I really want is a spatialized newsgroup list, so I can
have a cluster of spandex-and-rhino-related newsgroups in one corner,
the anti-C++ brigade over there, the when-I-need-a-non-sequitur smear
in the back.

anyway.  yah, '(level . score) sounds okay.  (except for the level
part :) I'd be happy if levels disappared, in favor of something else.
like, umm, dunno.  something more like topics.  mmm.  I think I'd like
to have multiple group buffers.
