Miguel,

	Don't forget some of the features in Free Agent and DejaNews... 
If an article has multiple segments, it should be possible for the

I know in DejaNews and Free Agent when you are viewing a huge FAQ it can
combine all the pieces together.

 If you love something, write it in C; if it compiles, it is yours; 
                     if it doesn't, it never was.
