I just checked out a few screenshots for Raggle. Seems quite impressive. Thank you for the suggestion. In the meantime I am quite happy with snownews but I will definitely check this out.

Re: Any suggestions on good CLI newsreaders?
slrn. Why? Because it also finds private newsgroups on servers as well as the public newsgroups. Others I've tried can't do that. tin fails here which surprised me.
