- I agree also. Speaking from the football news/broadcast wasteland that is
- Seattle, Washington, USA, Earth, Milky Way >slap< er, where was I? Oh,
- yes. r.s.s. is unfortunately my biggest source of football news here and
- I'd much rather just have one group to wade through with some kill
- functions than two or more groups. Guaranteed I'd read all of them and my
- employer really wouldn't appreciate that. 8-) Not to belabour the point
- but let's just keep things as is and quit having this damnable discussion
- every time the last half of the English season begins. About the only
- thing I'd like to see is people take their personal disputes to e-mail
- instead of embarrassing themselves by SHOUTING profanities and other,
- utter nonsense in the public forum so the rest of us have excess articles
- from pig-headed loonies to wade through. No problem for me with xrn
- newsreader's nice kill buttons but others don't have the luxury of
- sophisticated news reading software.
