I came back to Usenet because I have fond memories of the time I spent on it before Google got its sticky fingers into things. I’ve been through a lot of different newsreaders since the 1990s, and I never really thought any of them “sucked”. I was quite fond of KNode, but that’s dead now. I have my Usenet account settings configured into both Claws (which I use for email) and Pan. I mainly use Pan right now (with Emacs to help with message composition in some complex cases), maybe I should spend more time trying Claws for news ... or even Emacs itself ...
