Mark,
   I have been using NS 4.0b1 since it appeared, and it is far less
buggy than many previous versions, and somewhat more stable than 3.01,
in my opinion.  I am using it now, and the newsreader is vastly superior
to earlier versions, in spite of it being far complete, feature-wise.
Some things just aren't there, and there are some bugs, and some
'features', but it seems to trend in the right direction.  I eagerly
await the next version...
