Actually, I'd be fairly happy to take everything EXCEPT for a few high-volume non-technical groups, specifically net.politics, net.flame, net.misc net.followup net.jokes net.singles net.religion. net.sci-fi if it is active: I'd have to check. I think that is about it... many of the groups have sufficiently low average traffic that it doesn't make any significant difference to take them. From one point of view, I'd like to be able to take all those things. I have a theory that being able to read lighter or diverting stuff on the net helps keep programmers sane (sometimes). But..
