I'm not really sure how well it works yet, just today turned a real
account over to slrnpull as main feed.  I guess I'll know in a few days.

Seems like leafnode is a more complete piece of equipment.  But
slrnpull may be a little simpler.  I don't think it would be much fun
to do lots of experimenting in group selection and so forth with.  My
usage has narrowed down to some 30 groups that I always want to have
on hand.   So their isn't much tinkering with different groups and
such.

It has a config file where you list the groups you want by hand and it
gets them.  Treats it like a newsrc list but not really interactive.

I may try leafnode once I see what all slrnpull can do.
