[net.news.b] Wish list

north@princeton.UUCP (09/27/83)

I'd like my subscription list to specify not only newsgroups, but also
system and system!user lists.  For instance, I'd like to see every
article originating on my site, and every article from ulysses!smb,
even if they're not in the newgroups I normally read.  I skimmed
through the code for readr.c -- it's really, uh, amazing.  Does anyone
know any E-Z hacks to do this, or would I (hypothetically) have to roll
up my sleeves and add to the already incomprehensible intricacies of readr.c?

I wish news groups could be aliased in the same way that mail userids
are aliased.  If I post to "system", I want the news item to go to the
local "system" group, and also to group "wat.math.system" that is distributed
to other Waterloo sites.
