I don't think so. You need to set the group first, right? So what is the
user goes to all it's subscribed newsgroups, tags several articles in all
groups, and wants to download them.
Of course, I will only save the article ID's. But you need to know to which
group the article belonged.

Well, it sounds better to me... Holland is boring in its flatness. And of
course, we have too much rain. We could swap for a while? :-)

Hmmmm, when I travel that distance, I'm in France... Or in Poland. Or
England. Or Denmark. Distance is such a relative thing.

Hmmm, that should make up for everything, right? Have you picked your own
linuxone?
