Actually no. See, Mozilla isn't owned by AOL. The only limiting factor
would be the people who own the free web news services objecting to
their customers being able to use a news client. News client = no
people on website looking at banner ads = no revenue. What happened to
your business course there?

No it's not me going off the deep end. Mozilla's news client is a NNTP
compatible, AKA any standard news server news client. It is not a web
browser for browsing a news site. Mozilla's browser component does this
quite nicely. Or do you not know how to type a URL?

Yeah, it would be an interesting addition. However, since there is no
standard for web based news, and you couldn't parse the HTML files the
server generates for you very easily, it would be quite a difficult
task. Considering how much you bitch, maybe you oughta take a few years
of Computer basics and maybe then you can get some C++ classes, and then
you can write some code to do that.

I love your posts. I get home from work at night, and I sit down and
what do I have? It's like watching Comedy Central on the web.

I fail to see the point. This isn't english class. When your whole
argument has been reduced to pointing out grammar and punctuation you
really have no argument left. Why not just be quiet, and maybe less
people will laugh at you (unless they dig up an old post for kicks)
