Heh. English usage changes over time, you know. Not very
long ago, 'weblog' was a term for the sort of things that
Apache dumps out into access.log. When I was at a software
company in late 2002, I remember a coworker being very
confused about what a 'weblog' was.
Times change. Language changes.
That said, it'd be good if Akregator supported NNTP. Then
newsreader = newsreader_{old} \cup newsreader_{new}, and
everyone's happy.
