I used to subscribe directly and then someone told me about gmane and I 
found I liked it better that way.  Even though I used to filter to 
folders, my inbox seemed cluttered.  I have it set to keep the last 2000 
messages for each group I read. I don't see them because I have it set 
to only show unread messages, but I can show them if I want.  It makes 
it easy to go back to the start of a thread if want without having to 
connect to an archive somewhere. I read 3 other groups this way without 
this problem, but if it persists I will have to go back to the old way.
