What is the most efficient way to get the posts
of a single user from a newsgroup and
nothing else?
Surely not increase his score to 1 and
mark-and-expunge everyone else (at 0)?
Can you do an auto-splitting that will steer all
his posts to a virtual group?
Just imagine to have a group usenets-finest
with your 2-3 favorite users from dozens of
high-noise groups!
But wait - doesn't that mean you loose the
context when you don't see what everyone else
is writing? Yes - that's the whole point :)

Once: use "limit to".
For the session: use temporary score files (lower everything but user
in the scope of that group).
Forever: use permanent score files (same as above).

"Forever", yes, but to score it will mean that
every time it'll look like this
rec.techno-techno.science 189
and so I hit RET and the 189 disappear because
my darlings weren't among them. Next time
rec.techno-techno.science 39
same, and so on.
I agree scoring would be optimal because it
works so well and has a familiar interface, but
how can I automate it so that I don't have to
clear those 189s and 39s all the time in hope
of something interesting to read?

I think you'll have to write some code to enter the group and leave it
right away, so the scoring rules are applied.
