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 ...
