I've found that a good way to plow through comp.sys.next.* and
the other comp.sys.* groups that occasionally have good stuff but
way too much to read all at once is to use the "comp.sys" WAIS
server that's running at the U of North Carolina.  There's a
WAIS client for the NeXT that's said to be quite good.  Point
the client at the server and start looking for your favorite 
authors or topics.  It's not the same as reading straight through
the group, but who has time for that now days?  See think.com:/wais/
for details.

As an aside, WAIS is a good argument for posting things in MIME
format rather than in NewsChewer style.  Mark the RTF parts with
Content-type: text/rtf; they're just about readable by poor dumb
humans, shouldn't be too hard to cook up an rtf-to-ascii for people
with non-NeXT screens on their laps, and they're way more searchable
and indexable than a big blob of uuencode.
