web access to newsgroups

[D]

always best to use a dedicated newsreader for connecting with nntp servers,
but rocksolid works great for web access to newsgroups, with "show headers"
checkbox for article reference . . . for the past couple of weeks noticing
more links to "novabbs.com" appearing in usenet newsgroup citations (since
google announced their planned closure of google2news this coming february)

(using Tor Browser 13.0.8)
