NG will also occasionally crash when munged articles are posted.  That can  
be solved easily enough by editing the .newsrc or unsubscribing from the  
group.

NG can be annoying at times, but it's still easier to deal with than rn or  
other text-based news utilities.  (I'll freely admit that's a personal  
preference in order to fend off incipient flame wars.  Discussions of NG  
tend to be about as rational as Protestants and Catholics discussing  
religion during the Reformation.)
