Sorry, can't resist! Why *do* people rave about NG? Is it just because
it has a NeXTStep interface? I have a choice between NG and trn, and I
use trn. Is there a rational reason for this? :-) Yes - it follows threads!
If the subject changes in NG, you lose the thread. This seems a pretty
basic shortcoming.
