Emacs guy - no way thinking that is crazy.

Powerful editor. And a news reader.

Loved the column cut and paste!

No kill files
No way to only read new articles
it takes 10 times longer to read new articles.

I use a news reader that has keyboard accelerators:

n - next
space - more of the same article (if it's long)
k - killfile the subject
Because killfiles skip over subjects I don't read, I can read 2000
articles in just a few minutes, without touching the mouse once.

And that is reading EVERY new article, without reading any old articles.


Same here and agree 100%.

But...

- User-Agent: Gnus/5.11 (Gnus v5.11) Emacs/22.2 (gnu/linux)

Most people would think that's just plain crazy!
