Threading works well, at least for me.
Actually everything works well in terms of
technology. What doesn't work, or what is
working worse and worse for each year, is the
"human factor".

And because no newcomers are arriving one can
almost even at this point consider Usenet
dead technology.

Gmane is of course just as good to discuss
technology and computers, FOSS projects, and so
on, but to be able the discuss ANYTHING with
a uniform, text-based interface is probably
a thing of the past.
