It's the exact same size I use in my NG reader and it's perfectly readable
to me. Maybe your resolution is too high. If it's changed, other people may
find it too big, so it's hard to say that it's the page's fault. As far as
portables, I can't imagine any portable that would use a high enough screen
resolution for that font size to look too small. Plus, any half-way decent
browser these days should have an easy zoom function. For me, in FF2 all I
need to do is Ctrl-ScrollWheel.
About the lack of tree view, that's really a VIM vs Emacs, tabs vs spaces
kind of an issue.
What about this thread? Without the newsreader, given the 50 or so messages
here, how would I know that the one on the end specifically replies to that one
of mine?
And as far as the other points, like you said, it's all
customizable anyway. I've used many forums that have all the junk turned
off. Plus I use AdBlock Plus ( http://adblockplus.org/en/ ) and NoScript, so
I don't see any ads on that page (If I didn't use those, I would find the
vast majority of the web literally unusable).
Yet I don't have to mess with any of that stuff with a newsreader! I don't have
to configure it, zoom it, install ad blockers, etc. It just works, and since
little data is transferred, it's fast, too. I also like how it's archived as a
bunch of text files.
