I would love to get newsarticles with certain subjects in the title or by
author. I would pay for it, too. Is there such a thing?

I once used "newsclip".  A fine old PERL program that examined the
history file and matched against a .cliprc to find interesing posts.
Unfortunately on a full feed to a SPARC5 it tool about 30% CPU all the
time. 

So recently I switched to procmail:

In 'newsfeeds' it says:

innclip\
        :!junk,!control,!*.binaries.*\
        :Tp\
        :/usr/local/bin/procmail -m /usr/spool/news/.procmailrc

(I know I should call it .procnewsrc :-)

Now the clipping service doesn't show up at all by "top".

Also we can do INCLUDERC ~rory/.procnewsrc to provide my very own
filters.
