sure- macsoup is pretty good, i was just adding to the list of available 
newsreaders (there are several more than two-remember rnmac and macslurp?). I 
like hogwasher because you can browse offline or online, or both if something 
looks particularly interesting whilst downloading headers. It's good at 
extracting binaries, and has neat scheduling/automatic connection/unconnection 
facilities. What soup beats the pants off of it with is threading. It's funny 
how each newsreader has a killer feature- a pity that someone won't put them 
all together (although, when it came out way back, newshopper seemed to do just 
that; before that, offline newsreading used to involve three programs, 'the 
triumvirate' i think they used to call them-hell to get working)
a demo of hog is available on this month's macuser cd rom. I can supply a url 
to their home page if anyone is interested.
