I just read Bruce's post entitled 'A multi-server question' and it got
me thinking.
There may be compelling reasons for not wanting to download a particular
group from a particular server.
Just one example: alt.binaries.pictures.animals is not carried by the
gmane.org news server, but every time I fire up pan, the gmane.org server
is queried for new headers for it and many other groups I follow.
Wouldn't it be more fair to gmane.org if I could tell pan not to pester
the gmane server for pictures of animals or mp3 files?
There may also be other reasons for excluding a server from a particular
newsgroup that I haven't even thought of yet.
In the interest of symmetry I considered proposing 'Downloading Profiles'
to complement 'Posting Profiles' but this may well be overkill. (Charles,
does 'symmetry' tug at your heartstrings the same way it tugs at mine? ;o)
Can anyone else come up with reasons for adding Downloading Profiles,
or maybe just excluding a server from a Group Preference?
