Let me mekr a few points here

a) What you complained about was the inconsistency you think unix tools for
usenet news and email have interface-wise. Very specifically --- though your
tone made it very clear you never actually tried it

b) I gave you 4 good hints where you can find combinations that are
absoutely consistent interface wise

c) You come back saying "But look, I need this and that, and can't get it
for linux". Pretty lame, but what the heck.

d) You claim there are "thousands of things" you use daily. I'd bet you
don't have more than 50 programs you use every month, let alone every day. 

e) Claiming that you can't find a WYSIWYG word processor, a Database or
Graphics Programs for linux is pretty ridiculous. A PIM is a concept that
still seems strange to me (but so does checkbook-balancing :-), a Dialer is
a 30 minute hack, and an Organizer --- we should define that first, OK?

So, all in all, you change the subject when proven wrong (or given enough
information to find out for yourself that you were wrong), make a number of
false claims and speak bad about stuff you never even looked at (or at least
not seriously). Is that the way discussion is supposed to go?
