Following the manual, I am able to browse the slashdot server, and subscribe to topics as groups, and then read them. However, this seems clunky to me (possibly b/c I've only done it three times now :)). What seems more aligned with Gnus' current situation is to have ONE group for nnslashdot, which got new topics as articles, and the followup posts to the topic would be threaded under the initial topic article. This would allow normal scoring, would minimize the number of changes in the *Group* buffer, and in general, would be less strange to my eyes. Am I all alone in this? -- Ami Fischman usenet@fischman.org
