I'd vastly prefer a newsreader. Sadly I've yet to encounter a newsreader that can store its state in a shared location, which is important for me as I need to be able to access the newsgroups from multiple computers. Cough, googlegroups, cough, but whatever. It might be the way I snip out parts of quoted posts. Maybe it doesn't like that.
