I'm curious how many groups other people subscribe to. I also have a few very specialized news servers which carry groups that are not propagated to usenet-at-large. If I total up all those specialized groups across all those servers I might get as many as twenty groups, probably a bit less. If I add the mainstream groups I subscribe to, I'd wind up with maybe twenty-five groups at most, and probably less. I don't find the idea of looking at a list of twenty groups annoying or inconvenient, so I'm asking for other opinions: how many groups (in one list) are you willing to look at without feeling annoyed or frustrated? Perhaps there are other reasons for wanting to keep groups in a subdirectory/folder/collection? What about a MicroSoft employee who likes to cruise the linux groups and offer help to linux newbies? She might well want to create a folder called 'antichrist' in which to store her list of linux groups. (Dunno.)
