The score rises, but a group on level x will always have a higher rank than a group on level x+1, no matter what the score is. > How do you go about having this work for some groups (such as > comp.unix.*) but not others (rec.arts.*)?

I'd imagine most people would either want bubbling -- or they don't want bubbling. Hideously ugly regexps and/or group parameters can be used to fine-tune this, perhaps. Or perhaps people can write their own sorting functions. (Bubbling is done simply by sorting the groups over the ranks of the groups. Other "bubbly" sorting schemes is possible. Or one could forego sorting altogether and do "local" (aka. "real" bubbling).) > This is the kind of increased complexity and size I'm talking about. I think it nice having a program that is sufficiently complex that nobody will ever learn all parts of it. :-) -- Home is where the cat is.
