But the solution you want seems to be difficult to implement, as ShengHuo says. You might get closer to what you want by using topic subscriptions: create a topic for nnslashdot and arrange all new nnslashdot groups to be subscribed under that topic. Then you can open or close the topic in the *Group* buffer and it will not be as visually disturbing. kai -- Simplification good! Oversimplification bad! (Larry Wall)
