I found that vn is far more useful, and has become my newsreader of choice.
The reason comes from a combination of two things: I dial in from home at
1200 to read news sometimes, and I usually only read a small subset of
articles in a group. With vn I am presented with 22 articles at a time,
showing subject and poster - I can deal with a backlog of close to 100
articles in almost no time at all, by just reading the stuff I want. Granted
this is less of an advantage at 9600 BPS, but since I'm too cheap to shell
out for a 2400 BPS modem I'm forced to run at 1200 when calling from home.

Just my $0.02 worth - BTW I'm going to be real interested in how this
nn thing behaves: I have it all saved away, but haven't bothered to
unpack and make it yet.
