You're right, D'Arcy. I don't know exactly what “much better interfaces
[than Usenet]” the poster was thinking of, that's why I listed some of
the features that Usenet has which I don't see improved on in other
interfaces.

Now it's up to those who think such features can be improved upon to
present a non-vapourware system that demonstrably has all of those
features or better.
