Agreed!
I mean, I use trn, a program resulting from years of work. Why
in the world would I ever want to use Lynx for newsgroups,
when I've got trn?
Admittedly, I've never tried the news stuff in Lynx. Maybe
someone can tell me WHY it is that I would prefer to do
news-stuff in Lynx, and if it sounds good, I'll try it.
It seems to me that there is SO MUCH hassle just keeping
up with the netscrapes ("keep up with": make it so that
we can KEEP reading the TEXT part of www-pages), that
any diversion of thought, etc, to news-reading & posting
is, well, down a rat-hole.
Unless eg blind people are unable to browse news-groups
any other way than via lynx -- then it MAYBE makes sense
to have a CRUDE news-reader.
Someone please educate me on why I am wrong. THANKS!
