The two systems are doing very close to the same things for many people, and a uniform interface is only sensible. Given a vote, I'd discard "readnews" as a real lose. We've been using 'notes' here, and it's wonderful. Best is being able to scan the subject lines for a newsgroup without having to "walk" through them. Rick.
