I haven't found a newsreader I can stand.

I don't see why.  I've already suggested there be a master list that
gets everything...  It'd be easy to continue doing what your doing.
Heck making this list continue to be the master list and just make other
lists that are the ones people post too...  The point is with a master
list those that like things the way they are now wouldn't be effected in
anyway...
