The capabilities of NNTP clients are much better than email for tracking
threaded discussions in multiple forums. I'll let it go when something
better comes along, and not before.

This is different from NNTP how? If you're referring to knowing how to
use the tools, there are many tools that present both email *and* NNTP
with the same user interface.

If you're referring to organisational network policies that block NNTP,
that's also true for email.
