Agreed!

I notice that a lot of people post here from google.  I did it too
before I discovered the mailing list, which I now use because I
haven't found a news reader that I like nearly as much as mutt.  It's
quite nice to combine email and news into one.

If you have any suggestions for console-based newsreaders, I'm all
ears.  I have tried to setup "tin" in the past but the voluminosity of
its documentation made me give up.
