Look, I use thor, and while I'm not going to evangalize about it (I'm still
not sure I want to register it and make it my main news/mail reader(it too
often get's confused about its own database)), I fail to see the harm of
mentioning it if someone asks for a recommendation. They're hardly going to
subscribe to a thor specific news group if they don't even know that the
program exists.

Why don't you vent your criticism on the Mac heads that have invaded
comp.sys.amiga.misc...
