Assuming you're serious (I'm concerned that my sense of humor has slipped
out of joint lately - several of my postings around various corners of
usenet that I intended to be humorous have brouhgt back some
apparently-negatively-emotional responses):
I sift through the headers looking for interesting subjects or familiar
posters. When I am done with a batch, I mark them "all read" and move on to
the next newsgroup. There is only one newsgroup (rec.skiing.alpine) in
which I read every posting, two (sci.math and sci.engineering.design) that I
read every day or more often, and several that I read on an intermittent
basis or when I run out of useful things to do.
