Doesn't Linux have a decent usenet reader?

The easiest way to get this across, I think,.is via a pic:

http://www.auxbuss.com/temp/gravity.png

See how the threading is communicated via the From field and how easy it 
is to scan the Subjects? Simple as that, really.

(The From field is indented one notch because toggling the far left 
header switches between a threaded and non-threaded display.)

That snap is my current view of this list/ng from gmane. It actually 
shows quite well what I'm on about.

The binocs show watched threads - those that are downloaded 
automatically, but it also provides a visual cue.

The red exclamation marks/points are "important" posts. Usually stuff 
that I need to test or take action on or add to my local wiki/knowledge 
base.

The blue shields are protected posts - those that cannot be purged by 
anything ever, until unprotected.

Hope that helps.

I've already mentioned that I use Gravity. Some folk like Agent, which 
also beats the pants off Linux offerings, although it doesn't float my 
boat.
