The thing is that regardless of a newsgroup reader, I'm still very new to newsgroups in general. The more I read into gnus tutorials the more I come across concepts like: group level, scoring, marking, ranking. I'm probably missing something here, but what's their practical usage? Do you score/rank/mark/set level to groups? If so, how does it help you later? thank you in advance -- regards .Martin.
