This is interesting; most testimony I've seen tends towards the other direction. That is, Gnews users who try GNUS and find it much faster and more convenient, and switch. I can't offer an opinion, as I have never used Gnews. But I do like GNUS. As far as the "fastest" newsreader, that award probably belongs to nn. It flys through newsreading, but it's only optimized for a particular style of reading news. I find it doesn't much appeal to me, although it does have some strong points. Deven -- Deven T.
