Another explanation occurs to me.  Most of the traffic on the X news
group is (a) frustrated people trying to get around questionable
design decisions, (b) frustrated people trying to figure out
documentation,  (c) frustrated people trying to report and/or work
around bugs, and (d) frustrated people trying to decide if they have
found a bug.  Perhaps NeWS is bug-free, well documented, and easy to
understand.  :-)
