I read several of the Mac newsgroups but have no real hope of keeping up with all the volume in each. Basically I choose 3 or 4 groups each day and scan the 100 or 200 most recent postings (i.e., pressing '=' and entering 100 or 200, then visually scanning for subjects of interest). I know I can create a virtual newsgroup that contains those 3 or 4 Mac newsgroups, but then the virtual group would contain all the articles from all the underlying groups. What I'd like is a way to create a virtual group that contains a number of articles to take from each underlying group; then as long as each of the underlying groups has, say, more than 100 unread articles, the virtual group would indicate that it had 300 to read (3 underlying groups * 100 articles from each). Then pressing '=' would display the top 100 articles from each of the underlying groups. Is this possible now? Steve Baumgarten sbb@panix.com
