I want it to use both, and the normal scoring files should have a lower priority than the agent score files. There are many newsgroups that I mostly just scan, reading the occasional article (heck, that's all of them, I think). I'd like to be able to tell the agent to get all short articles (or maybe all short, not too crossposted articles), whilst at the same time using the normal score files so if there's a longer article by an author I like, it'll get that. Hmm. Maybe that could all be rolled into the normal scoring rules. I think the way you've got it at the moment makes sense, though: deciding what articles to get is logically different (although closely related) to deciding what articles I'm likely to want to read.
