I don't use a newgroup reader myself. What's the point to downloading
all this stuff into your computer when Google posts everything on their
server. I look at the titles and just pass by the troll posts.


All the newsreaders that I have used will function that same way. I download
just the headers until I see a subject of interest. When I click on a
message, then the body of the message is retrieved and displayed, but not
before I request it.
