Yeah.  I figured it was glaring a bit too much to go un-reported until
I saw it.  How does the current beta handle multiple servers?

It sorta kinda makes querying newsgroups a little easier, but it
doesn't help too much because one of my servers is huge (19k groups)
and one is tiny (17 groups).  My users read exactly four groups from
the smaller server and over fifty from the big server.

Yeah.  That sort of does sound redundant.
