After three weeks away, I return and see the net in war!

I really cannot say which I like but I am going to sit back and see what
happens.  Maybe others should do that too.  It appears that the people
who help make the net run smoothly (and we should thank them!) are trying
to stop the "this discussion does not belong here", "this discussion really
ought to stop", "VERY HOT FLAME ON ...", etc. responses.  Who knows, this
might be a good idea!

[in the early 70's:  CALM DOWN / Life is S.E.    (S.E. = Short Enough)      ]

I would like to ask a question though:
	Only one other person mentioned this in the 200+ articles I read in the
last few days (sorry, I forgot who) -- is there anyway to get the news reading
software (readnews, vnews, etc.) to display a "Table of Contents" based on the
Subject Line or Keywords Line of, for example, a screenful of articles.  At
that point, the user would be able to decide which articles they do not want
to read.  Then the software would take that info and update the .newsrc file
to reflect the wishes of the user.
	I would like to appologize if this has been discussed before, but in
my (roughly) nine months with access to the net, I have never heard this 
discussed.  If it has, will the net gurus mail me the resluts of that
discussion, please.
	Thanks!
