I have to agree. I use usenet for the sense of community as well as
finding needed information. I use Forte Agent for usenet mainly
because I have been using it since the first releases, I am familiar
with the way it works and I paid for it.

Agent is on my Windoze machine and I am gradually moving all of my
heavy use to my Linux machine and leaving Windows for game playing.

I'm still in the process of, once again, becoming familiar with Linux
after a period of several years. Much has changed including my
recollections. I'm getting old and my memory is not as good as it used
to be, damn it.
