On 29 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Michael D Richards sauntered in to 
netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news and loudly proclaimed:

> 
>> 1. News won't allow me to create muliple accounts that have the same 
>> server.
>> I want to be able to organize groups from the same server by creating

> 
> That's freakin' annoying.

I think he was talking about NNTP or S/NNTP (/i.e./, having different sets 
of NGs from the same server accessible as different news account), not POP 
or IMAP.  You're talking about something very different (altho' 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41929#c8 would seem to fit this 
situation).

You and flacco ought to get together, tho' I think he just wants multiple-
identity/alias support; 41929 seems to be something a bit different. :-P
