>Out of MORE curiosity, Hans... What makes you use Yarn?

I started using yarn somewhere back in 1994, if I remember correctly.
At that time there were few alteratives. Before I was using BlueWave,
a fidonet newsreader which was not very handy.

And nowadays I still haven't seen anything better. I'm still very satisfied
with Yarn. For example, one of the reasons is that it works in full-screen
text-mode. This makes messages much easier to read.
Ocasionally I use Agent to take a peek in newsgroups that I don't read
regulary.

Wow, yeah. This is indeed a good solution. Why haven't I thought about that
myself?

No. What is it?
