    Arrgh.  Can you recommend a good one in my area?

You may go to the same one that Saint Larry goes to. I have
read him saying (or maybe it's me that should go to one) that
he is considering writing a newsreader in Perl. Not a bad idea
actually. After all there are two written in GNU Emacs Lisp
(and I use one of them :->).

On the other hand I would really love to have two "modest
additions" to rn; the ability to sort articles, with a full
screen index mode...
