I think it is a good idea to put saved articles under the user's home
directory (or perhaps a directory of their choice determined by the value
of an environmental variable).  I am really tired of finding that I have
put "net.cook" articles under 10 or 15 different directories because I
chanced to read netnews between doing other work in those directories.
Locating all the files, then reassembling them in chronological order is
more time than its worth.  Three cheers to those who finally fixed up this
bug.  (For those who want to override this option, can't you just say
something like "s- ./localfile"?)
