Both Dr. Who and Star Trek are subtopics of "tv", just as Star Wars is a subtopic of "movies". Rather than flattening the tree structure of news, we should put related topics in subtrees. (See Gene Spafford's proposal in net.announce for similar reasoning.) -- Rich Kulawiec rsk@pur-ee.uucp rsk@purdue.uucp rsk@purdue-asc.arpa
