I did finally give up on Usenet-via-nntp when i... uh... in...
individual.net? Was that the one? That German (iirc) university (iirc)
free news site, at any rate... finally went non-free. Every time I'd
picked a pay-for nntp service they did something evil, so I didn't
pick it back up until Google started offering RSS/Atom feeds. It's
almost useable, other than the ferschlugginer things aren't full-text
(bah) and I have to click through if I want to reply.

And their mailing list versions aren't bad, either, actually. But
Yahoogroups. Still hopelessly broken. But large mailing lists are
definitely objects-at-rest, so there they sit. Bah.

I brought Xnews over to the new machine, though; I'm still holding out
hope.
