Just wanted to let you know about a nifty little thing in progress...
(Begin excerpt from the Yang documentation)
As always, one would like to keep up with the flow of articles in various
newsgroups and mailing lists. Sometimes, however, it seems that one has
subscribed to too many newsgroups, and the main Yarn screen fills up,
sometimes even taking on a life of its own, taking up several pages.
With Yang, this is now an issue of the past.
Yang will - whenever you want - monitor your newsgroups and mailings lists.
If a fully read newsgroup is found, Yang will "unsubscribe" it, making it
disappear from the list of active newsgroups. It will however still be
available, from the usual subscribe function within Yarn.
If Yang finds a currently unsubscribed newsgroup, with new articles, it
will automatically "subscribe" it again, thus making it reappear on the
list.

Version 1.3 - Released 971106
-----------------------------
- Feature: Yang now looks for the $LOGDIR variable before using the $HOME
variable.
Version 1.2 - Released 971022
-----------------------------
- Fix: If a new newsgroup has been created manually by use of the Yarn
newgroup command, it would not be unsubscribed, even though it didn't
contain any messages yet, since it wouldn't have an associated overview
file. Subscribed groups without overview files are now unsubscribed
(unless they are mentioned in the exclude file).
Version 1.1 - Released 970606
-----------------------------
- Fix: When running Yang after expiring without running Yarn itself first,
some groups would be subscribed, even though no articles were unread.
It seems as though Expire doesn't update the newsrc-file correctly, so
that fewer articles exist than the number marked as read.
Version 1.0 - Released 970602
-----------------------------
- First public release.
