Actually I used it when there were only a few articles. More that 20, I just waited until I read them on a 9600 baud line. Or else I just read the articles without indexing them, and used Kill a lot. I also stopped sorting indexes when at home. It was somewhat slower to use Gnews than rn, but not having to start up emacs for each mail reply or followup was worth the conversion to Gnews. -- Bruce G.
