Bad assumption; usually (at least for me), I'm interested in a subject, so I go looking through an abbreviated list of the groups that have keywords in their name that I'm looking for. Like if I'm looking for groups on Linux, I'll filter a server's list using the word "Linux", but if I then want to see what group is an active group (a good indicator that it might be a good starting place), knowing how many messages are in the group provides a good way of knowing. Old-Pan used to give the total number of messages in the group along with the number of messages that are unread. Your last statement is a bit confusing - how is the usefulness of a function at all related to the difficulty of implementing it? Either it's useful or it's not; either it's difficult to implement or it's not. The two have no relation to each other. Useless functionality can be difficult or easy to implement; useful functionality can also be easy or difficult to implement.
