OTOH, having Netscape putting out a moz-1.0 based news client that has GNKSA bragging rights would be a VERY good thing for Usenet and Netscape's place in it. And might even go a small way to make up for Netscape having introduced HTML to Usenet. BAD NETSCAPE! BAD NETSCAPE! I'm a heavy-duty Usenet addict. I use slrn. Come up with something to tempt me away. IT HAD DAMN WELL BETTER PLAY NICE! (Yes, I've downloaded cygwin and Activestate Perl, and will start playing with PatchMaker in my CFT ...
