Yeah, still viable.
It's always a trade off between power tripping mods or spam, trolls, and
flame wars. Which would you prefer?
Been a long time since I've seen a good flame war...
Sadly, my client doesn't seem to be quoting properly. :/ It *used* to work.

You can make it kinda quote properly but it requires a lotta
tweaking...not really worth the hassle.

You may as well call me a new user, too - I've been (mostly lurking)
around on Usenet proper[0] for, oh, three years or so...

Sadly, it's waning right now (and me without my umbrella).

Follow the instructions and it will open in *newsreader* mode automatically.
AS far as quoting properly...you'll have to downgrade your WLM client to
a *previous* version...read on here:
<http://www.w7forums.com/windows-live-mail-not-use-quoting-t11688.html>
Protip: use Xnews or Thunderbird.

For Linux, the Pan newsreader is best. Easy to set up and full-featured.

There are free Usenet services, but use the server "nntp.aioe.org" to get
started because that requires no registration, and it's fine for
continuing use if you don't exceed its limits -- see the aioe.org webpage.
