About 60 groups, in total, here.  In the latest betas, I can view 45
groups without having to scroll the group list, which I dislike doing.

I keep sets of groups separate so as not to confuse me.  It's mostly
historical, since I now have broadband, download time isn't really an
issue anymore.  When I had dial-up, I kept the binary ng's in one set,
because I only loaded the headers, and then pick 'n' mis what I d/l'd.
With the text groups, I load headers and articles automatically.

Aggregated servers are fine.  Just as long as I have the option to
select which one(s) I use at any given time.  If this means different
user profiles, so be it.
