I don't understand what's "yucky" about rn.  I find its flexibility
highly desirable.  Could someone explain what's "yucky" about it?  
I ask because we've just switched our users from notes (choke, barf)
to news using rn, and most of the non-hacker types do nothing but
piss and moan about it.  Everytime I track down their specific gripes,
it's a case of RTFM.
