I stopped using tin a few (maybe 5) years ago, because every time I started
it it gave me a list of hundreds (seemed like thousands) of new newsgroups
I had to decide, one by one, whether to subscribe to. It just took too
long to get the the messages I wanted.
Has this changed?
Nowadays I use Pan, under X. I should try sometime if Pan also has
a text console interface... Or some documentation.
