[Milsurplus] SAC Radio CDommunications

[Peter Gottlieb]

If I could have a dollar for every nastygram I've received over the years about 
"off-topic" posts I could have a great collection of mil surplus!

Perhaps the Usenet and reader system needs refinement.  For example, there could 
be the milsurplus group and it would have subgroups such as coldwarcomm, 
fieldradios, etc. and people could watch the entire group or filter (drill-down 
selection, like software options) for what they are specifically interested in. 
  Of course, we could do that ourselves as in [milsurplus][coldwarcomm] and set 
our readers to filter but I'm afraid only the computer geeks amongst us could 
handle that setup.  Perhaps I should file a patent on an XML implementation of 
Usenet.
