It probably ends up having the same effect as subscribing alphabetically, though, since an alpha grouping will do the same thing. If there is any difference, it might order the overall ("alt", "comp", etc.) groups differently. >> 6.

A "series" being a group of numbered articles (as in the binaries groups)? Could a series also be a group of articles with the same subject? -- Jack Vinson jvinson@cheux.ecs.umass.edu Sunderland, MA Q. "Is a cat's urinary tract health important?" A.
