Default News Reader recommendation - Attn Brian Gaff

I think my comments refer to the terrible web based forum interface used by
Home Owners club to basically hi jack this group for their use without in
fact adhering to the proper use of quoting either top or bottom which always
has the date of the original message in it.
I use a very old program which has been modified to work in later versions
of Windows, but I'm told by Thunderbird users that they are quite happy with
that once set up to their likings.
I obviously use everything by keyboard shortcuts, have no mouse or screen
on the computer, so my usage is totally different to others.

I'll not go into details. Its a great pity that Tbird cannot have its keys
mapped to the standard Microsoft ones used since Outlook Express and live
mail. From my point of view it would slow me down greatly since its muscle
memory you are fighting against, and at over 70 it is harder to learn new
tricks!

Often see Brian commenting on people answering very old messages. I
realise
my reader doesn't show a date.

What reader should I consider trying. I only use the D-I-Y group.
