Actually I switched to pan, and my slrn-times are years ago...

This sounds interesting, but might trigger the problem of creating your 
own filter bubble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble, which is 
partially avoided by slashdot-like moderation. 

Slightly related, but not as an opposing view:
The pirate party in Germany has an interesting concept for decisions, 
which might be adopted: For each decision, each member has a vote. But if 
there are topics it feels it is not proficient enough, it can delegate 
his vote to some other party member for a specific topic.

However, this would work again better with a moderation system like 
soylentnews than usenet.
