Have *I* got a deal for *you*!

3.0 vnews combines:

	1. A consistent vnews-style screen-oriented interface

	2. vn/GNUs-style customizable subject list browsing.

	3. All the neat rn features (kill files, macros, escapes etc).

	4. *Real* conversation-following via the "Reference" relationship.

You can get all these goodies by joining my beta list. Special bonus if
you act now :-), replacements for all the other standard readers and even
a whole new faster transport layer.
