Generally many conferences 've lots of non-interesting things:
non-professional readers (who anywat post), stupid themes,
flame & so on.
Well, using xemacs(gnus) for reading mail & news is very usefull w/ SCORING.
I engoy it. :) Here you'll find some SCORE files for some news conferences
(generally fido7.* tree). Mebbe also some configuration examples.

_.gnus is .gnus * _.xemacs is .xemacs - these are examples of gnus & xemacs
configuration files I used at december 2005.
