Besides, usenet/nntp is getting to be a vanishing backwater of the net these days ... and the only _decent_ nntp reader was "nn", which never really made its way to the GUI era, much less the web era. In fact, if you know much about nn, you can probably see that reflected in what I said I prefer in RSS feeds. I only want to see the lead in, and then I have to actively choose to participate in anything more for that stream -- if I pass it by with disinterest, then I never see it again. Just like nn.
I have no complaints about slrn, but I don't use it with a GUI. And I don't see USENET as a vanishing backwater either. A small part of the Internet most don't know about? OK. But not vanishing.
