The best thing is that there IS a choice. Competition is really going to drive netnews software into the 21st century. In the next few years, small problems will become big and optimization priorities are going to change. With MIME-based news, a standard (and searchable!) NOV database, and other issues around the corner, competition is going to be very important. I'm glad that there has been >1 netnews software packages for a long time and that this will continue. (and I can't wait for G&H's nntp code, or even just details, to be released!)
