[news.software.b] Review of NN, a Usenet news reader: second thoughts

flash@cs.qmc.ac.uk (Flash Sheridan) (07/15/89)

My earlier criticisms notwithstanding, I'm using it more and more.  I now
tend to read articles based on who wrote them, not on their subject or group.
I've always been heavily into KILL files, aiming them especially at people,
as much to select [via rn's M, soon thereafter c'ing, then reading the good
stuff] as to avoid.  
	I never put anyone into my global kill file, as rn was slowish on
header searching even in the smaller groups.  [I would have liked to put
weemba there (with a :M).] This may change the Nature of the Net; there are
some people whose views I'll never hear again on any subject; some whose
views I'll _always_ hear.  This may reduce flameage; I'm not sure it's a
good thing.
