Agreed.  Posting them as individual articles allows them to more
easily seed real discussions about specific topics.  Grouping them
would make it more difficult to wade through and comment on the
topic that interests you.  If you don't like the posts, learn the 
joy of killfiles... thats why the [News] tag is there.
