No problems.  The feedback here has been very helpful!

You can fix this by uncommenting lines 501-513 in header-pane.cc.
They're commented out right now until I can figure out how to make
them faster.

OK.

My plan for 0.95 was to put in support for `primary' and `backup'
news servers so that you can hit the free news servers first,
then fall back to the nonfree ones that charge by the bandwidth.
Will that do?

If you really do want to say "get groups A, B, and C from this server,
then (1) I'm kind of curious what problem that solves, and (2) you could
edit the first server's $HOME/.pan2/newsrc file to remove A, B, and C,
and edit the second server's to remove D, E, and F.
