Nope, not at all.  It's based on "rn", but handles discussion threads
(the "t" in "trn").  It can show you a list of the discussion threads
(constructed using the Reference: lines and the Subject: lines) in a
group (rather than showing you all the *articles*), lets you select and
read a thread, and lets you walk up and down the thread's tree.

Some of us think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
