   There's probably 100 ways to do it if you are creative and we have   
   javascript at our disposal.   
      
   You could create a regular area where it has the 50 msg nets the sysop would    
   carry, and the msg subs would be in there.   then you could create a more   
   simple area using the same data codes. you can cut and paste in scfg or you    
   can rig something up since synchronet uses .ini files now.   
      
   you could use flags to have only one to show to a user.  you could script it    
   so it asks the user which style they prefer.   
      
   that's the easiest way to do it (for me).   
      
   i think it's weird to have msg subs out of their context, especially how    
   fidonet and fxnet and other nets have different rules and operators.   
      
   I can't believe a user would ask for something like this. i've never seen    
   someone ask for such a messy system. i think it's just a bad idea the sysop    
   had and he stuck with it.   
      
   I understand having tons of msg networks, file areas, games can  be a bit    
   much for users.  that's why you either dont do it or you do little tricks to    
   segregate them. there's a lot of visual tricks to segregate msg and file    
   areas with synchronet, for example.   
      
   nobody likes a facefull of data with multiple pages.  so i think it's best    
   for for the sysops to steer away from that.  but it's their systems.  they    
   can be THAT sysop and have the 1000 msg nets and 1000 doorgames and have an    
   inactive system.
