Would you guys like to have threads created by Greg's news bots not shown in the "New Posts" search?

No,

but in case I'm in the minority, is there a way to have it be a user option?

I'd like to make it a user option, but it looks like it'll take quite a bit of coding to accomplish. Same goes for new posts in sci.physics.research and sci.physics.strings.

Yes, definitely don't want them to show up in my getnew. I don't see what it has to do with Physics Forums anyway, if I wanted to discuss politics and world affairs I would go to a Politics and World Affairs Forums.

I'll look into what'll be necessary to add some checkboxes to the User Options page....
