Not to dispute your take on it, but have you tailored it? I created two new
sections and immediately received stories that had not previously appeared.
The sections I created were rather narrowly focused, too; I think it might
be much be informative to search for "Al Kaida" or "Conrad Black" than to
search for what I searched for. Maybe I will try that in a moment. I also
want to try some really-narrowcasted topics like "shepherds" and "bagpipes".
Can you imagine? Five news stories about the current events in bagpipes?
LOL. This  just in: "Piper misses note in Glasgow."
