I've never done this, but is there something stopping someone from
setting up a news server at home on a linux box, then only carry what
you want to read? Assuming no port blocking, that sounds doable. Be
your own server.

abolultely, you can run "inn" (or some other nntp server) on the linux box
and use "suck" to feed it news from a regular nntp reader account on
some other news server(s).

aioe won't work (eaily) with this as they require that messages are
posted with a message-id of their choosing.

it solves interactive latency problems, but messages are delayed a bit.
