40tude Dialog is an oldie but goodie (e.g. v2.0.15.1, 4d2b38.exe, 3.8 MB,
2005-2-7), runs great in Windows 11 23h2 and older, uses hamster scoring,
and is the best all-around freeware newsreader client available anywhere;
best of all it works great with Omnimix and Tor Browser, *see note below . . .

(using Tor Browser 13.5)

  *note: still using 2.0.15.1, works swimmingly (upgrade to 2.0.15.41 optional)
